I don’t like or agree with Trump at all, but wear what you want people!

I think political gear in general is obnoxious. bumper stickers, MAGA hats, Hillary shirts. It's all obnoxious.

Politics are a red-hot topic in America today, and going around flaunting your MAGA hat or Bernie shirt just makes you look like a tool that's looking to **** people off while walking around.

But yes, MAGA hats are essentially the new confederate flag. MAGA represents Trump, and Trump represents hate. Trump calls black football players sons of *******, black countries "****hole countries," "black women "low IQ," Mexicans "rapists and criminals."

Trump represents hate, MAGA represents Trump. and people wearing MAGA hats absolutely LOVE it when Trump insults minorities. It's the way Trump supporters can tell people of color "**** you."

I don't recall anyone being harassed for wearing "Hope and Change" or any other Obama t-shirts.
You may not recall it but it happened.

One example, this man beaten in Louisiana for wearing an Obama shirt the day after the election in 2008. Unless you don't consider a fractured nose and eye socket "harassment".

UPDATE: Longview Man Arrested Accused of Beating Obama Supporter

They get behind closed doors and find ways to control even the Trump supporters.
By the way, I still have a Trump 2016 sticker on my car and on my SUV a Trump 2020 sticker plus a sticker that says, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIBERAL MEDIA on my back window.

lol, your dreaming buddy, but go ahead and enjoy it while it lasts. Trumpism is exactly what was predicted by smart people 20 years ago.

All of your woes are directly related to Ronnie's bullpoop economics and flipped positions of labor and capital.

But let's face it, you are never going to bother figuring that out because it is so much easier to blame some random group of people instead of using your grey matter.

As a nation we made a massive mistake letting Reagan and those who followed sell us a lot of BS tax policies that have done nothing but make the rich vastly richer and put us on a path to permanent serfdom.

There is no true liberal media to speak of, unless you are speaking of lifestyle choices. virtually all US media spews the lie that low taxation for the wealthy is somehow good for all of us. Whereas in reality when nations have progressive taxation policies AND a real economic floor everyone does a lot better.

YOUR wage goes UP when the bottom 25% are well insulated from extreme poverty. Why? because employers must offer you jobs good enough to make you want rather than just enough to stop you starving or losing your rental....

You want real MAGA, let's start with taxing real progressive taxation worth a damn. don't worry none of us here make enough to suffer , and the relief it will bring you and your extended network of family and friends will more than compensate....

you need to stop believing the lie that the US is a merit based nation, it most certainly is not. It favors capital, assets holders over labr everyday all day since Reagan first took office.

I don't see a MAGA hat, sticker, poster, etc. as a sign of hatred by default. However, it can become a hatred sign depending on who is using it and how they are using it.

The "America" that the MAGA-hat wearing people are loyal to only exists in reruns of "Leave it to Beaver" and "The Andy Griffith Show." They are loyal to an America that is ONLY for white heterosexual fundamentalist Christians. Everyone else can go f themselves. They have nothing but hate for today's America...a nation that is very ethnically, religiously, and ideologically diverse.
That is just a made up meme that you guys run with, it's really passe and played out.

What a silly question! So let's say so person has a Trump bumper sticker on their car and their neighbor has a Hillary sticker on theirs? Are you saying the Trump bumper sticker is a symbol of hatred and the Hillary sticker isn't? That's absurd!!!!!
