This is so true. The core principle of MAGA is you’re either with Trump or you’re not. If you’re not, then your life isn’t worth as much.

The Amazon-ification of shopping habits is destroying retail. Even the chains can’t survive at this point. It won’t be long before most Main Streets in America will have no brick-and-mortar retail stores.That’s been Amazon’s plan all along, and when that happens Bezos is gonna start jacking you.
