Well...........it was fun while it lasted. lol Hope the bad ol' days are not coming back. Since the end of March, sales have been nice & steady; sometimes great. Before that - it was depressing. It seems to have lasted over 9 months but the last 3 days have brought back the awful! lol 4 sales for $20. Hopeful it is a temporary trend because a new POTUS cometh. Buh bye to the criminal. 🙂 Best of luck to all. Stay safe.

100% correct - and sorry for misinterpreting your post! I actually love politics - but I detest personal attacks and virtue signaling.

It's how it would be perceived. If you're selling every day normal things the last thing a potential customer wants to see if anything distracting. They want the facts and that's it. Distract them and you break the spell. It would be the same as if you were only willing to sell items to a particular religion. Politics is some people's religion these days. Also keep in mind when you call someone a criminal, some of your customers are going to be just that. That doesn't mean they are going act criminally towards you but they could be buying from you with the money they got via their criminal activities. As far as I'm concerned I'll sell to anyone. And if Donald wants to buy from me give me a few minutes to raise the prices. 😄

I just don't like politicians in general but can be quite political. I sometimes crave debate. Selling is a form of debate or argument. However I try to make it more about fantasy since no one needs most of the stuff we sell. I also try to be beyond candid. I have sold political items before but just don't have the desire to manufacture anymore. I would be purposely much more abrasive than the OP though for shock value which is an advertising vehicle like exploitation films. I also don't think I have the skills necessary to accomplish what is in my mind. I could get away with it. Someone selling normal everyday things not so easily.

I've had SO many peaks and valleys over the years and I've never been able to pin a (mere) three-day lag on anything. It's just how it goes. It'll get better.

Sales go up and down, some things fall out of favour and others rise. Judging anything by the activity of three little days out of months, years, etc., may be misleading.

Take the long view - it prevents insane on the brain.

Stimulated?!?! Yeah, 110 isn't doing it for me lately. I better plug myself into a 220 outlet. 💥

I use the old saying, "In a hundred years it ain't gonna matter." Probably 20 or so in reality for me. Let me know when you get that 15 minutes without hearing opinions. I sure would like to know when I miss that!

I'm retired and 64. All I need is my buddy Boston Terrier. I worked my A__ off for many decades and prefer no people, no phones, no cars, etc. You would be amazed after you retire just how much people and machines annoy you 24/7. Yeah, I know - take a pill old-timer. Have a good one folks!
