MAGA souvenirs sold at a blue state’s airport shop “carefully curated” to support “American trends in the market” signaled a conservative “Vibe Shift … is real.”
Years of being force-fed pop culture overflowing with Marxist ideologies supporting rainbow activism and racial division have understandably left many Americans fatigued. So after a social media account highlighted gear promoting Make America Great Again messaging and President Donald Trump was available at Los Angeles International Airport, some reactions required “smelling salts!”
It did appear almost too good to be true to many that a business in deep blue Los Angeles, fresh off riots protesting the deportation of violent illegal aliens, would offer hats, mugs and shirts emblazoned with the president’s likeness or promoting his agenda. However, as attorney and California Republican delegate Elizabeth Barcohana pointed out in sharing an image from within the AMERICA! retailer, “Spotted at LAX. California Vibe Shift Right … is real.”

According to their website, the stores are operated by the WHSmith Company’s Marshall Retail Group, known for District Market locations and more in 46 airports across the country.
This particular retailer was spotted nestled in LAX’s Terminal B and, as the company detailed, “AMERICA! has a 25-year track record as a leading, destination-themed specialty retailer, and for good reason. The dynamic, constantly evolving assortment of carefully curated merchandise reflects ever-changing American trends in the market, the local experience, pop culture, politics and current events.”
“By design, each AMERICA! store engages visitors by conveying a regional sense of place, set against a contemporary patriotic backdrop,” added the description as weeks before the 2024 election, the TikTok account unapologeticcrytal had shared video from the store selling campaign promoting gear like Trump’s iconic mugshot with the slogan “Never Surrender” all set to the song “Trump 2024” by GAMEGOD NATION with the lyrics “F*ck Joe Biden”
Moments before posting the picture from the store which, along with MAGA gear, sold Air Force One toys and guest merchandise labeled “Official White House,” Barcohana had highlighted a report on the president’s approval rating sitting +14 points over the same time in his first term as she called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“Tell us again Governor Newsom about how Trump is ‘flailing?’ House Democrats are at a 33% approval rating and falling, and you think the key to taking Trump down is adding Democrats there?” she said as the leftist executive pursued a redistricting plan ahead of a 2026 gubernatorial election that many believed could see a Republican return to Sacramento. “lol ok. Bring. It. On @CAgovernor.”

Word of the “Vibe Shift” came as the entertainment industry also appeared to be changing course away from woke as an op-ed made note of trends like Sidney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad campaign and upcoming shows and movies as proof that Hollywood is “hot, horny, and white” once more.
Meanwhile, among the social media reactions cheering the development were those who couldn’t believe their eyes, with one even joking, “Bring me my smelling salts!”

That’s so awesome to see.
MAGA is more than a slogan, to those of us who saw the previous administration send billions of dollars to foreign country while it abandoned Americans in Western North Carolina.
MAGA just means: America before anyone else.
Period
