Make America Gross Again. That is what a MAGA hat is saying, whether or not Trumpers admit it. They believe they should have the right to lord it over people who are not like them. They think nobody should object to their grossly bad behavior.

Please forgive the dot title. I have a progressive problem with my computer. Whenever I try to post things or answer surveys, etc., I get flipped out of the internet. I have learned to outwit whatever virus/etc. is doing this. Apparently, it just now learned how to prevent me from adding to my Reply Title. If I lose my ability to speak at all, then farewell DU friends! Know that my departure will not be voluntary!

To me wearing the hat means I'm a racist moron and I don't care who I offend.

with the stupid hat...I'm not surprised being that they've got the wool pulled over their eyes and they are being misled grossly as to facts and the actual reality on the ground.

We're seeing this everywhere, farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, steel workers, just about every demographic group (besides the obvious one, immigrants) has suffered and all have suffered a massive inflation hit to our income purchasing power of roughly $1,000 yearly with all of idiot's tariffs.

Maybe they'll realize that effective governing takes more than a loud mouth and bullying tactics.

I know for a fact some of the locals have them, but they wouldn't dare wear them in public unless they were among other MAGAs (rallies, etc...).

I have not seen one MAGA hat. I am sure there are people who wear them, but I haven't seen one. They must be few and far between.

I realize for a lot of them, this isn't political but more of a youthful rebellion, since kids often try to get a rise out of people by being as contrarian as possible. But when I was their age (and I've reached the age where I actually say things like "when I was THEIR age"...), i rebelled against my parents and teachers by doing things like wearing an afro pick in my hair and painting a Bowie lightning bolt on my face. I didn't walk around wearing George Wallace paraphernalia and shouting Lester Maddox slogans ...

The old dear was at least in her seventies and looked very Caucasian (To Be truthfull, I look quite Caucasian myself).

But I do not react well to such provocations. I used my search functions on my I-phone, searched for a suitable Russian patriotic song, lowered my car window, then blasted it at her.

IMO, American presidents should be an asset to the USA, not assets of unfriendly foreign intelligence agencies.

I recorded it on my husband’s phone. He works with all these mf45 supporters one particular one he trolls all the time and whenever the guy defends mf45 my hubby plays the song to him and then guy runs away. I also gave him a sound bite of Lindsey Graham saying mf45 is a f’ing a hole.

When I see or hear him this song is my anthem.

She lives in his district. She had a handful of tea party rednecks sitting in the front row. (Mostly Mexican-American) They appeared to be low income.

We have plenty of Mexican-American conservatives around here.

I even had one Hispanic woman tell me that landslides in Los Angeles were caused by "illegals" tunneling under. (And she was working at the polls)

We had a Hispanic Republican run in a special election. He was from the barrio. In the debate he said he supports the wall because immigrants "carry diseases".

Don't get me started on Pete Flores (R- TX state senate -19) who is basically Elmer Fudd.....

The hats and car stickers are gone. I guess they just stick to re-posting Facebook memes about how everyone not like them is going to hell and hates "Murika".
