How to cause political change by buying a shirt

Spreading persuasive imagery by wearing clothing can alter history

Remember this photo? 


It was everywhere prior to the election of President Barack Obama. Seeing this photo everywhere had a subconscious impact on people. They were constantly thinking of Obama as the election approached. When the election was over, Obama had won a decisive victory evidenced by flipping Virginia which had not voted Democrat for the 40 years prior.

Nobody can forget the bright red MAGA hats of 2016. 

 


Seeing these striking red hats everywhere put Trump on everyone’s mind. It also gave the impression that Trump was highly popular. The result was a Republican carried the state of Pennsylvania for the first time since 1964. People tend to vote for and agree with things that they think other people agree with. It is one of the reasons the corporate press uses rigged polls to make the Democrat candidate look like the favorite. People follow what they think everyone else is doing. The red MAGA hats showed that a lot of people supported Trump in 2016. People saw that hat and wondered, “what does Trump stand for that someone is willing to show their support for Trump in public with that hat”, and decided to find out.

Why I chose to make each shirt design

Trump pumping his fist after surviving assassination

The phenomenon outlined above, in which wearing clothing that supports your political cause brings that cause to the attention of other people and helps to persuade them to support you, inspired me to create my first shirt design and launch this site. The hoodie with Trump pumping his fist after surviving the first assassination attempt with the American flag in the background came to me as a vision while I was at work one day. I find this moment to be inspiring not just in a political sense but in a general sense too. Trump had the grit to stand up and pump his fist in the air after having just been shot. 

I had imagined that just like the MAGA hats, spreading the image of Trump’s most triumphant moment would stir the emotions of likely voters and convince them to vote for Trump. 

They’re burning your money

Grey crewneck sweatshirt with the words "They're Burning Your Money" in large bold letters. The design has a digital drawing of the United States Federal reserve building in Washington D.C. and it features drawings of burning dollar bills.

Once I finished this Trump design the creative flood gates started to open. I started to see more designs swirl around in my head, each one supporting a cause that I am passionate about. The “They’re Burning Your Money” crewneck sweatshirt was inspired by the fact that The Federal Reserve is almost literally burning your money

I believe that if people see this concept as an image they will start to understand the issue, get angry, and take action against the Federal Reserve. I chose a bold design with bold colors to attract attention. On the back of the shirt in big orange letters I put “End The Fed”. The goal being that when you pass a person on the street they will be intrigued by the front of the shirt, take a look, then as you pass by notice the call to action on the back.

Now that Trump is president, agitating to end the Federal Reserve is far more productive than when Biden or any other Democrat was president. Capitalize on this moment and buy the They’re burning your money shirt.

The American values men’s and women’s t-shirt

The shirt that reads, Independence, Creativity, Perseverance came to me when I was thinking about how to define what America means and what the American dream is. I think this is a very important question for any politically active person to answer. You cannot cause social change if you do not have a clear vision of your destination. The issue that the right-wing in America has is that they are often simply reacting to the left’s visions and opposing it without presenting their own positive vision for the future. By defining what America means you define the culture you are aiming towards. By simplifying the culture you want into three words you make it catchy and easy to understand. I believe the American dream is to make oneself independent through acts of creativity and perseverance.

Why these values?

Independence because this country was built by colonists who fought for and won their independence from the British government. Because dependence on one’s government is a deeply seated part of US culture. Americans often discuss that each president is “running the country” as if all outcomes within their world are directed by one person. 

In reality Americans must hold the belief that they are independent from the government and hold a great deal of autonomy to fix or screw up their life in whatever way they choose. A culture of Independence means that cutting government spending is not a big deal and does not allow progressive to make it into a moral crusade because nobody depends on that source of aid in the first place. Americans must feel empowered in their ability to provide for themselves and their families without violence from the state supporting them.

Creativity because all the greatest innovations in US history were a result of creativity. Some of the greatest companies in US history could not have been built without creativity. The assembly line for cars created by Henry Ford which made personal cars affordable for everyone was a stroke of creative genius.

Apple was successful because of the creative vision of Steve Jobs. The iPhone disrupted entire industries because Steve Jobs was willing to break tradition and produce a phone without any buttons. Something that the founder of Blackberry called a gimmick. Later, iPhone would disrupt the smartphone market so drastically that Blackberry would stop selling phones.

Sometimes the creativity is less obvious. It could be a new way to structure a business, or a new way to communicate which is more secure.

Perseverance because that is the grit that built this country. Every titan of tech and industry from the United States had to face challenges when building their company. With every challenge they kept pushing through until they had solved the problem. 

The Founding Fathers faced an enormous challenge during the revolution. The rebel colonists were facing one of the most powerful militaries of one of the most powerful empires in the entire world when they won their independence. It took a little over seven years of war for the British to surrender and allow the colonists to finally have their independence. The reason they won is they never stopped fighting. It simply became too costly to justify holding the colonists under the thumb of the King.

Politics is downstream from culture. By fostering a culture that values independence, creativity, and perseverance the United States will continue to be the greatest nation on earth, an engine of innovation in which people truly have the ability to build themselves in new and unique ways.

Expel California from the Union Crewneck Sweater

California is not America. The governor of California, Gavin Newsom signed a bill, “taking action to address the use of deepfakes and other deceptive digitally generated or altered content in election campaigns”. This may sound reasonable however, it was in response to a video which was clearly meant to satire the seemingly drunken way that Vice President Kamala Harris speaks. The legislation clearly violates the first amendment and the spirit of free speech. 

California has also made it extremely difficult to purchase firearms and has extreme restrictions on the type and function of the firearms that people can purchase in that state. The government there brazenly violates the first two amendments to the constitution. The state clearly does not share the same values as the rest of the 49 states in the union. 

Given that the state has nothing in common with the rest of the states it is only logical that California be forced to leave. You cannot be part of the greatest country in the world while violating the founding spirit of the country with every new piece of legislation. The people there will continue to vote for the crooked sociopaths like Gavin Newsom over and over again. They will leave when the state becomes comparatively unlivable due to disturbingly high taxes, high crime rates, and high fuel prices. As soon as they leave they will again vote for Gavin Newsome type sociopaths, who will then destroy that new state.

In order to prevent the sickness that is California from infecting the rest of the country it is time to remove the state from the Union. The United States of America is not obligated to share an open border with California. Nor should The United States impose our incompatible values on California via the federal government. No state has ever been expelled from the Union before but Article 5 of the US constitution allows for any part of the constitution to be amended at any time. I propose a new amendment expelling California from the Union and making it a separate country entirely.

To spread my idea, I designed a shirt demanding that California be expelled from the Union. If you agree, please buy, and wear this shirt.

Tanks in Harvard Yard Hoodie

Want to defeat Woke? Destroy Harvard.

The founders of the progressive era argued that the university system served to create the next generation of leaders.

Woodrow Wilson specifically argued that universities, particularly elite institutions, had a special responsibility to train what he called "leaders in the life of the nation." In his writings and speeches during his tenure at Princeton, he emphasized that universities should prepare a select group of students for leadership roles in public service, business, and other influential positions in American society.

Wilson's vision was part of a broader Progressive Era emphasis on professionalization and expertise in governance. He believed universities should cultivate an educated elite who would guide American society through rational, scientific administration - a concept that became central to Progressive Era reforms.

Wilson’s vision continues today. Most employees in important positions in most businesses across the country graduated from the University system. From the University system they bring subject area knowledge - and they bring the woke ideology. Most employees are trained to passively accept things like the trans agenda or critical race theory. However, activists have helped create entire departments which ensure each company follows the woke ideology to a T. They are called DEI officers, or equity officers. They create training and events within the company to teach the ideology. They guide hiring practices to be more woke. They consult the marketing department - most of whom came from the universities.

At Facebook and Google - the people building the content moderation algorithms and search algorithms went through the University system and wrote these algorithms to ensure they align with the values they learned while completing their degree.

At Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times - all places that consider themselves the opinion molders of America - University graduates sit in the editors rooms and at the anchors desks filtering all information through their ideology.

Every school teacher in public schools is required to have a college degree. They are taught wokeness in college and then begin to teach it in public schools, ensuring that the next set of university students are ready to hear ideas even more radical because the intellectuals at Harvard are constantly expanding their theories.

If you want to cut off woke at the source it is time to make student loans illegal, seize the university endowments, and re-distribute them to forgive student loan debt. It is time to send tanks to Harvard Yard.

Your job

If you want to help Trump win in 2024, or if you just find his character to be inspiring and you want to spread that message don’t just purchase one of my hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, t-shirts, or tank tops. Wear the shirt you choose. The emotions that the images invoke are what will motivate people to vote. Voting, for most people, just like purchasing something, is not a logical decision based on facts. It is an emotional decision that people later rationalize with a selected set of facts.

If you want to end the federal reserve system and bring a sound currency to the United States, wear the “They’re Burning Your Money Shirt”. The goal is to make people angry about the fact that the federal reserve intentionally lowers the value of their money every single year. They should feel a fire in their veins instructing them to march on Washington and demand that the citizens of this country be allowed to choose between multiple sound currencies.

If you want the people in this country to stop being totally lost, living day to day just putting in the bare minimum effort at work, going home to binge watch netflix without any intention in the manner in which they conduct their lives. Do not just buy the Men’s American Values or Women’s American Value’s baby tee, wear it. Wear the shirt whenever you are planning to go out in public. Have pride that your country stands for something completely unique and beautiful which has made it the most successful country in the world. Be proud that you are representing the values that build such an amazing country. It is time to reignite the American Dream and the only way to do that is to define it in certain terms and tell people about it.

Get the conversation started about the completely disparate cultures that exist within the United States and whether those cultures should have their own country. Everyone has a script programmed in their mind about why states cannot secede from the Union. This is not true about advocating to expel a state from the Union. Purchase the expel California shirt and again, wear it.

Defeat woke by advocating Tanks in Harvard Yard. Actually sending the tanks is one thing, but spreading the idea that the University system is a major issue in the first place is important. In Chriss Voss’ book “Never Split the Difference” he advocates that when negotiating anything, you should always “bend their [you adversarie’s] reality” with a first offer that is very high or very low. This causes your adversary to fall into the ranges of prices you are willing to discuss. If you start with sending Tanks to the universities to confiscate their endowments and redistribute them to debtors, the proposition of cutting off their federal funding seems reasonable.

My commitment to continue designing shirts

I love designing shirts and I am committed to making more in the future. My goal is to move American culture and politics to ensure that liberty is abundant and everyone is flourishing. If you share the same goal, be sure to order a shirt and wear it with pride. You never know who might be inspired to learn more about the cause of liberty and some of the ways they can support it.

If none of these designs interest you check back onto the site in a few weeks to see if I have added any more that suit your interests. I assure you these will not be designs you can find at any retail store. Also check back for any new discounts that we might be running, you might be able to save some money on the existing designs.
