Fuck this bitch

Maybe you saw this story last week, before Memorial Day and before Precedent Shitgibbon turned one of our most sacred American traditions, honoring soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, into a shabby juvenile display of toddler grievance (his signature move).

This pleasant enough looking woman, Gigi Gaskins, owner and proprietor of HATwrks in Nashville, decided she would ride the coattails of her hero Marjorie Taylor Greene and exploit the worst human tragedy of the 20th century to pimp a few flat brim hats and fashion accessories.

Gigi is an anti-vaxxer, anti-Covid, rabid trump supporter, just like MTG. She thought it would fun to misappropriate the gold Jewish star my people were forced to wear in Germany during the 1930's before they were shipped off to crematorium in the 1940's.

How fucking quaint.

And judging by the fact that her instagram post got 238 Likes, one can only assume many of her fellow hillbilly Volunteer customers agreed. 

These are people who blissfully unaware that 75 years ago 1 out of every 3 Jews living on the planet was systematically murdered. Had my ancestors in the Belarussian town of Grodno, near the border with Poland and Lithuania not hightailed it out of there in 1903, I would not be writing this today.

Similarly, had the USA pursued an America First immigration and isolationist policy, the one preferred by Gigi, her fellow Tennessee Volunteers and their xenophobic ex-president (god I love saying that), there's a good chance 2 out of every 3 Jews might have met a similar fate.

Perhaps this is why I am sympathetic to the plight of Guatemalan and Salvadoran mothers who want to protect their children from the violence of Central American drug cartels, who by the way are fueled by American dollars and tooth-challenged Americans who supply the Demand for what they are selling.

I would have loved to write a scathing Yelp review of Gigi's shitty little business. But since she was trending on twitter, the social media police closed off all comments on her page. I found there is more than one way to skin a Nazi.

So I did the next best thing and left a glowing Yelp review of one of Gigi's local competitors in the Nashville hat buying arena.

Fuck you Gigi. 

Don't mess with the Jews.

Update: Since this writing I've also left a hatWorks review on Google maps...
