A post of empathy to those who used to, but can no longer...

wear their red baseball caps.

[Lucid Dreamer]

1. I still wear one. So what?

It is part of a uniform.

What do you think will happen if I do wear it?

[C Moon]

3. IDK: Maybe your dreams won't be lucid?

Just kidding.
I have a red baseball cap that I wore walking my dog...and after the MAGA red hat thing, can't get myself to wear it anymore.

21. I was talking to an elderly man

at the doctor's office, very nice guy. I unconsciously had a visceral reaction to his red cap, then noticed it WASN'T a MAGA hat. Whew! I have a feeling red caps will become less popular among normal people. It's become like a uniform.

4. I walked into the supermarket to a red capped guy, thought "oh great, an asshole." Then, he turned.

.

There wasn't any insignia on it.

I still thought the guy was a dick for wearing it.


Perhaps, it's his way of supporting Trump without stating it. It gives him plausible deniability if questioned.

But, at the same time, delivers the message he want's to deliver, in a passive way.

8. Probably a Nationals fan

sick of his team after they let Bryce Harper go to the Phils.

14. Hey!

[ooky]

2. I don't have one, don't plan on buying one either.

5. Who needs caps unless you are bald? I wore a huge sombrero like a tent,

to keep the sun away doing construction. Wear a sombrero. It keeps the sun away from your body too. It also makes you sort of a character.

20. I have good hair. I almost never wear something on my head.

I really don't go in the sun much, at least not spend a lot of time in it, so I don't have use for a cap.

But yeah, if I did wear a cap, no way in hell would it be red or any other color cap that Trump likes.

6. Red Hat is, I believe, an open-source computer software system. So hubby has one of their hats...

...since he himself is a programmer, analyst, and data base administrator.

He's an older guy and he is bald, and dammit he really likes that hat. But thanks to Trump, hubby's personal red baseball cap is doomed to the back of the closet, probably forever.

9. RED is a color I want nothing to do with; red caps and red states for example.

18. So true!

22. In Arizona teachers and their

supporters wear red to show our support for our educators. It is part of the #RedforEd.

10. thank you...

I have thrown out all the red caps in the house...

13. +1

11. I saw a guy coming towards me on my daily walk at the park.

He was an old, white guy with a red baseball hat on which clearly had white letters on it. My immediate thought was "Oh, brother. Here comes a looney. Don't engage. Don't look him in the eye." Now, I tend to be a friendly person and usually smile or say hi to people at the park. I geared myself up beforehand, telling myself, no, you do not have to say hi to him or smile at him. It felt unnatural to me.

Then as I got closer I glanced at the hat and it said, "Trump is an asshole". LOL I looked straight at him and said, "I love your hat." He smiled and said, "I do too. I wear it every chance I get."

So there's that.

15. Red teams suck anyways.
