5. Inappropriate for a fair and a boon for MAGA

It's an inappropriate message on the face of it. Fairs are for fun and for kids, especially. The Ashland County Democratic Party Facebook post shows that the Democrats agree the buttons were a bad idea. And I agree with these Democrats.

MAGA, on the other hand, would be 100% for letting people identify as Democrats while selling merch with (at best) obnoxious messaging. Republicans want people who claim to represent us Dems to be obnoxious, uncreative, charm school rejects. They don't want our based spokespeople and elected leaders. The "Is he dead yet?" stuff is a boon for MAGA.
