Marcos Apologist Mug
A person, usually of Filipino heritage, who relativizes the dictatorial rule of Ferdinand Marcos, president of the Philippines between 1965 and 1986. Marcos, elected for 6 years, created a martial law dictatorship. The result was a brutal 20-year regime responsible for the systematic terrorizing, torture and death of approx. 85,000 citizens. Critics were murdered, newspapers censored, and thousands disappeared without a trace, never to be found. Marcos and his wife Imelda were also proven to have plundered circa 10 billion US dollars from the nation's coffers. Ultimately, the clan was ousted during the People Power Revolution of 1986, after the military cut ties with the dictator. In 2022, millions of young voters were duped and brainwashed by the clan into believing that the Marcos era was one of golden opportunity and economic growth, by means of denial, fake news, paid troll accounts and terrifying historic revisionism. A Marcos Apologist goes to great lengths to downplay or even deny the events and repercussions of the Marcos dictatorship, many of which influence the Philippine nation to this day. He/She is typically either too young to have experienced the terror of the regime, or used to be a loyal crony during the Marcos presidency. Such apologists are recognized by their lack of critical thinking, determination to glorify or rationalize the brutal regime, and/or by their willingness to downplay even the worst deeds of the Marcos days.

wow! this mug is so thoughtful to giving to my wife!
The description tells nothing but facts. 5 stars instant
Your description is right on, except in 1989 I named my daughter Kallen Mikel (www.kallenmikel.com/original-art). I thought I made up the name, but apparently, it originated as a boy's name in Greek and Hebrew. I first found this out in 2001 when I was traveling to Finland. In the 'tube food' section in a big Finnish supermarket there it was, a royal blue tube of salmon paste with a blonde-haired boy named Kallen! So now I have discovered that there are many Kallen's of both sexes. I want to buy her a cup, but it has 'him' on it. Is there any way you can make that a unisex description for both sexes? Just askin'. Being a Barbara (Barbs) myself ... a 'cake eater' from Edina, MN I had to ask ... haha ;-)
