Want to tear down the upper class and build a community utopia? Just buy this T-shirt!
For $27, you can purchase a 100% cotton “Tax the Rich” shirt from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign website.
Same price will get you a “Brawler for the Working Class” tank top. Or show off those abs you got from assaulting the NYPD in an AOC crop top.
She may be a socialist, but when it comes to amassing political power, AOC is pure capitalist.
Worried about looking like a hypocrite? Don’t fret — it’s all “union made.”
Worried about looking like a poseur? Can’t help you there.
“I don’t take money from lobbyists nor curry favor with billionaires so I can operate independently from revolving-door politics,’’ AOC says in a fundraising email, done up in fake cursive on fake Post-it notes.
Hers is a “grassroots” campaign. Though those roots are urged to give her up to $500.
My favorite: the “Abolish ICE Dad Hat” for $28.
What, nothing to cover the head of a “gestating parent”?
Models of various ages, races and genders show off the merch, but not body types. Everyone’s thin.
After all, the revolution is going to be televised — and podcasted, and Substacked, and Instagrammed — so you’d better look good.
AOC hopes to raise enough money to not only fund her re-election hopes, but get socialists in office around the country. Once that happens, the real fun begins. No more shaking the cup for $5, it’s millions and billions of tax dollars at their disposal.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is spending $50 million alone on “outreach” (read: a far-left propaganda office).
Young supporters may not think too deeply when they don a performative “Tax the Rich” shirt.
But rest assured: You’re paying for it now, and you’ll really pay for it later.
