OK no worries

But is it automatically wrong for patriots to earn money by serving up info or selling stuff that promotes Trump or Q? I see a Q T-shirt out in the wild, I get a big smile on my naked face; I don't think "Wonder what scumbag paYtriot took advantage of them on that sale."

I don't like how every time anyone monetizes their autism, they get branded a "pay"triot. (As if you're somehow more holy if you work your ass off digging and supporting and informing patriots all day without any income.) I'm not sure how consistent this is for a group like us that favors initiative, entrepreneurial capitalism, and free markets. I look at each situation critically as, "OK is this guy doing this SOLELY for the buckos, or is there genuine patriotic passion and great work on display here?" If the latter, I'm GLAD for them to make money. Money is good.

This has nothing to do with George in particular. But if a patriot feels led to create a channel and devote so many hours daily to it that they can't hold down a regular job and decides to make income from their passion, I'm having a hard time automatically downgrading that patriot by sticking a y in there.
