We've never seen this level of hatred and divide, and it is all because of one man, Donald J Trump. You never saw this much discord with Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc. Trump has fanned the flames and poured gasoline on them to make sure there is "his side" and then everyone else.

I can only hope the next guy/gal in this office is able to do things to get us back to normalcy in America. The current clown in office has been like a one man wrecking crew...…….and not in a good way.
These people have the right to wear any hat they want and this country is divided because of Obama.

Yea, if you want to call putting us 16 trillion in debt a success. It was partly Trumps corporate tax cut that stimulated the economy.

USSteel actually turned a profit because of the tarriffs and is investing 1 billion dollars into their mon valley plant in Pittsburgh.

I like to characterize myself as a "lower-case libertarian" -- mistrustful of government interference in both economic and personal/expressionary issues. I register as a Libertarian in order to help keep that party on the ballot, but sometimes have to change back to Republican when I have to choose between open-minded and more tradition-bound candidates (usually linked to the Religious Right, but luckily, there aren't too many of them) in the GOP primary -- despite what MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the faux "liberal" media elite would lead us to believe.

And I can recall only two votes for Democratic candidates for Federal or State office in the past twenty years -- and one of those was a friend of my family. I believe in equality of opportunity, but not equality of outcomes; in equality before the law, but i will terminate any discourse quickly if the subjects of quotas or "reparations" are brought up. My point being, that many, if not most, within our supposedly-unbiased mass media and educational institutions, and almost all Democrats fail, often deliberately, to make this important distinction.

Does it bother you when you see someone wearing this?

I wonder what kind of reception you’d get wearing this in Florida.
