New Republic sounds alarm about Trumpy Bear masking 'something terrible' (and helps sell some in the process)

You might have already heard about “Trumpy Bear” and the incredible commercial for same, and all is not well with The New Republic:

Like the Teddy Bear, the Trumpy Bear uses cuteness to mask something terrible. https://t.co/Ji5oe6P9My pic.twitter.com/pNnFnoAjkE

Is this real life?

Losing your mind over a teddy bear is peak 2018. https://t.co/73pleSjaLs

Trump has now made liberals hate teddy bears. Amazing power. https://t.co/fpqz6t0kLL

The great thing for the makers of “Trumpy Bear” is that those most opposed to them seem to be among their best salespeople (see also: Guns):

WTF I love this bear now that it pissed you off.
