Hey, Loser! You must be a paying subscriber to The Gene Pool to enter The Invitational. (Sorry, but our lunches aren't free either.) Either monthly or yearly is fine (and your subscription also lets you participate in the Gene Pool chats and Q&As. We'll know by checking your email address against our list of subscribers (low-tech, but manageable), so if you're a new Loser, and the email address you gave above can't be the one you gave Substack, let us know below in the field where we ask for your name.

In this week’s Invitational contest, Week 27:
Tell humorously how some business or organization could alter its product or message to appeal to Trump’s cult, as in the examples in the Week 27 Invitational at The Gene Pool, at GeneWeingarten.substack.com, or type bit.ly/inv-week-27.
FORMATTING: No special rules this week; just please make each entry a single line; i.e., don't hit Enter anywhere in the middle of one entry.
Include as many as 25 entries in the area below where it says "Your answer." It's best to copy them in from another document so you'll have them if your computer suddenly dies or something, or if you click to submit the form and something goes wonky.
Note: Your auto-reply confirmation might be missing formatting, with everything squished into one big blob of text, but it seems that it's nothing to worry about; the entries have been coming out fine on this end.
If you don't get a confirmation within a few minutes that you've sent your entry -- you've searched your email filters (e.g., Updates or Promotions in Gmail; and good ol' Spam) and there's nothing -- don't just send it over and over! Feel free to contact the Empress at myerspat@gmail.com and she can check if it got through (put something in the subject line that refers to The Invitational). She might not get back to you immediately but promises that you won't miss the deadline.
