Angry Right-Wingers Turn On Trump, Burn Their ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats
They’re burning mad.
By Ed Mazza

Many one-time supporters of President Donald Trump are so red hot over his possible immigration deal with Democratic leaders that they’re burning their “Make America Great Again” hats.

The angry right-wingers shared images of the charred caps on social media under the #burnmyMAGAhat hashtag. They also referred to the president as #AmnestyDon and some even called for him to be impeached.

For people who exulted in tossing around terms like "snowflake," Trump supporters are a remarkably fragile bunch. Maybe it's time for a Republican version of PUMA?

Just kidding. These folks will happily fall right back in line next time Trump says something they think will piss off liberals.

In 2014, I bought a red ball cap in Vienna. It reads "Republik Österreich" on the front and "Parlament" on the back.
Last time I wore it, a redneck asshole asked me if I was trying to be funny (after I translated the embroidered words for his dumb ass).

I may break it out this weekend just to see what kind of reaction I get.

"They are the same people who will go out and buy them again when he does or says something they like. "

Their outrage changes on an hour by hour basis. Just like Trump there is nothing stable about them.

When France didn't join in on attacking Iraq, bunch of right-wingers went to liquor stores and bought French wine so they could dump it in the gutters, and in early Bloom County comics there was a minor character named Otis Oracle who was the county leader of the Moral Majority. He decided to have a book and record burning so he and his followers went to the local record store.

Otis: (Holding a Blondie record) Excuse me, sir, is this young lady laden with moral turpitude?
Record Store Clerk: Dude, I don't know about that, but she is one hot chick!
Otis: Splendid! We'll take 30 dozen!

books! A nice big bonfire of books piled high. Torchlight at night highlighting their swastika arm bands!

And then, maybe they could run rampant one night and shatter the windows in establishments owned by people of color!

Then there could be marriage laws, and race laws!

And after this, camps.

Trump is a traitor and about half the Republican party with him. Until we get THAT fixed, we won't be able to get anything else accomplished, including driving these nazis back under their rocks.

Saw where some were doing this inside their homes. One guy set it on fire on his wood table. How many bigots does it take to burn down a house? There is someone offering five bucks to anyone who burns it while wearing.

North Korea has banned guns and Bibles.

The Bible is no real problem. I don't think any of them have read it, so they could just write "Holy Bible" on a board and walk around hitting people in the head with it, which is what they use it for now. But the guns are a deal breaker.

There really is no place for them to go.

Everyone here knew Trump only cares about cutting his own taxes. I figure as soon as Donnie Two Scoops gets his tax cut he'll pack his bags and go home.

It's pretty damned funny to see all these people who thought Trump was going to give them everything they wanted - a society with no non-Christians, no non-whites, no one who doesn't love guns, no gays...plus the Wall, Planned Parenthood buildings turned into church parking lots, death sentences for everyone who ever performed, received or supported abortion, anyone who ever tried pot in prison, and on and on - finding out the only thing Trump wants to do is end his tax liability.

I take no joy in their misery, but only wish more of it on them.

i guess we found out what would drive the Trump supporters away from him: any action which could be construed as demonstrating a shred of compassion for minorities, and/or collaborating with Democrats on policy.
