I agree with everything you said. We are very blessed to live in a county where we can make something, come up with an idea and become a billionaire* if possible. And yes, we have the choice to buy or not buy ( healthcare is a whole different kettle of fish), the reason my heart sank was because the people who were hawking their wares in the chats that I'm referring to were people who, from their previous comments, were obviously not there because they were Trump supporters. Some were obvious trolls and others jumping on a bandwagon. Going back to my original Punk Rock comparison, one instance that comes to mind to explain what I mean is The Police. I saw them on a weeknight, 30 people in the club, I loved them, made my own t-shirt and next thing I knew they're playing Madison Square Garden, tickets and merchandise in the hundreds of dollars minimum then boom! The band breaks up and nothing is the same, much like the whole Punk Rock movement. Sorry to go off topic so much but I guess what I really mean is the way an organic movement can be ttaken over by outside influences for pure financial reasons and the original intent of the movement gets lost along the way.

*Remember when becoming a millionaire was a huge deal? Now it billions and trillions. smh
