The Way We Live Now: Local Company Makes Flip-Flops To Reclaim The MAGA Shore

The Way We Live Now: Local Company Makes Flip-Flops To Reclaim The MAGA Shore

We know, we know — you’re going to the beach. (We hope you don’t die.) But for as stir crazy as we all are right now, one thing you may have forgotten (or just not noticed, bless your heart) about local beach vacationing is that, in these times, even the beach has been politicized. “The MAGA Shore” is a whole thing, and depending where and when you go, you may find that your favorite beach town has been claimed by, well, the same white fragility that has always been barely buried under its sandy beaches. Sorry. 

Even so, and especially right now, the MAGA Shore is really the only shore we’ve got. But now, thanks to Philly’s own Dumpster Fire Footwear, you can at least leave your feelings imprinted on the sand:

Frustrated by the State of our Union? Our Dumpster Fire line of sand imprinting flip flops provide a lasting impression (or at least until the tide comes in) Buy a pair for yourself or for a comrade in arms. Guaranteed to provide some foot stamping fun!

To that end, Dumpster Fire offers several different messages on their flip-flops:

  • Black Lives Matter

  • Dump Trump

  • Fuck Trump

  • Elect Women

  • Tiny Hands, Big Lies

  • OK Boomer

All great choices. And should you be walking along the beach and see these messages, please keep in mind that when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that your privilege was carrying you.
