So, in addition an to ad hominem attack, why didn't you present the case for yes?

Wow--is Trumpism a religion now? Do you guys have to pledge your firstborn?

Wearing a hat is a choice--not central to anyone's religion, race or gender. It is just a hat with letters promoting your own political opinions. Take it off and you won't have any problems.

Wear a hat which symbolizes adoration for a tyrant, and you risk an ugly reaction from anyone and everyone your hero leader has bashed and insulted. So, probably most of America and the world.

But if you're wearing a pink pu$$y hat, and get beat up because of that, then what? Hate crime?

Yes, BUT. Would you also consider trying to run someone off the road, and cursing at them, for having a Kerry or Hillary for President stickers on their car to be a hate crime as well? Both happened to me. Latter was when I was in the car with my infant and toddler grandsons in their car seats.

So...by looking at his "crazy hand gestures", you somehow can deduce that he is a "white supremacist"?

Talk about TDS --- yikes

This post sums up the lunacy of the argument by the Far Left Wing Loony Toons - express any opinion that they don't agree with at your own peril.

A crime is a crime. If someone harassed, or assaults you for wearing a hat with a message, there are already laws to cover that.

You can look it up. Which party started it??? Huh, what. You think an American party started white supremacy? Seriously.

Hatred strikes again. This time in New Zealand. How sad and shameful. This terrorist sounds a lot like many of YOU. The only difference is that you all haven't acted. Let's keep it that way. OK.

Most people don't like terrorism. But I have to ask you, do you really care at all when Christians are slaughtered in Muslim countries? Honestly, do you care? Do you act on that when you hear about it?

Actually, deep down Donald Trump is a White Supremacist.

So, you want the hat to make you a member of a "protected class"
