yeah i suppose, lots of LA dodger hats i think (including me). i'm sure maga hats are around but i think people out here know better than to wear something that is going to get them sucker punched. my dad is a trump guy but he was pretty adamant about not wanting a maga hat, even as a joke gift or anything. he wouldn't wear it
ok, is that hat really that much of a fire starter? I mean Hillary for Prison is pretty inflammatory but no hats. I dont see ball caps much except on elderly men and then it's about thier veteran status not political views.


i'm trying to think of other presidents who were retarded enough to come up with a practical clothing accessory that can be worn to show political support. who else had something like that? i'm sure obama had a hat you could buy on his campaign website but who else capitalized on it? what else could be worn? t-shirts? buttons? the hat seems to me to be so divisive because it's uniquely trump, it's powerful branding, people are right to be afraid of it

and hats are fairly common out here i'd say. less than half of people probably, but it's often sunny out here in sunny california, and as much as we lizard people like the sun, we do wear our sunglasses and brimmed hats pretty religiously

You fighting a bout of TDS? At first you say it's retarded then you say it's powerful branding and people are right to be afraid of it. Which is it?

Street merchants in DC sell them for cheap they have become the official souvenir of the place, it shows "hey I was here and I hate the place" It is popular and chic to hate on DC and what symbol perfectly combines "hey I wuz here" and hatred for DC?

Obama merch was on every street corner in Philly during his Presidency. Not a thread was officially licensed but it was there.

i don't think he's retarded, it was a tongue-in-cheek jab at people that do

Ok, you've earned the benefit of the doubt. See dirty dick, what a little honesty will get you?

StA, your ability to honestly and accurately recount what other people believe, or even post , is and has always been much more inferior than any MSM journalist's, including those who think they can accurately gage what happens at an event by simply looking at what hat some kids are wearing and what skin color they have. :roll:
If it is that much more inferior you would be unable to respond to it. You would have no idea what he was referring to. Be like describing Pegasus with a picture of the Riverbottom nightmare band. That's an MSM level hit job defending an MSM hit job. Nice try, bold move. I expect nothing less from a viking.
I have explained my views on journalism countless times. I am no more "unable to respond" than some guy in a MAGA hat is "unable to respond" to the ever-repeating hyberbolic, irrationel and dishonest mischaracterization of his views. Why would I keep repeating myself to a person who clearly has no intent of engaging me honestly unless he thinks I agree with him?
And yet you do.

If journalists had a skill beyond republishing the unverified content they find in their favorite blogs they wouldn’t need the advice of anime twitter avatars.
