The new symbol of hate

Someone asked if he could take his daughters there too. (That post/thread is deleted)

StL decided that meant the guy wanted to "do his daughters" and wouldn't let it go.  THAT'S why it mentioned more than once.  Because HE kept trying to make it stick when it was never said.

On topic: The "hat" is a hat.  If the people who wear it think it means more than an advertisement for Trump and his campaign that's on them.  Some people like to attribute a lot of "meaning" to inanimate objects and then get pissy when someone else doesn't feel just as strongly as they do.

On the other side if a lot of people wearing the same piece of clothing do a lot of stupid things ("Mexico will pay for the wall!" "Lock her up!" "In the old days you could rough a guy up!") then sooner rather than later the one piece of clothing will get a bad rep.  Fair?  Nope.  Just part of life.  

Personally?  I don't think people wearing MAGA gear are necessarily racist.  But then I tend to judge people on the actions and words not their appearance.  I do think they've been hoodwink but a Class B conman but that's a different discussion.

I am well aware about the "brothel" post.
Dragging his kids into it is not appropriate, but I see you must have been one of those that thought it was acceptable blowback, you know grown adults wanting to do things to minors.

And the post I am referring to was straight up introduce me to your daughters and it was in other threads that had nothing to do with the "brothel" other than being a jackass to him just because he said something you didn't like.

The hat is about Trump, not Nazis or Supremacists or any other hate group that just happens to wear them. The media keeps portraying these types as reps for all Trump supporters. And good on them, they are just making 2020 easier for him.

Sure Trump says some crazy things, no doubt about it, and he repeats sentences and wears out certain words such as "great" "fantastic" "biggest" "best" and many other adjectives. He has an ego and doesn't think before opening his mouth. But that's just Trump.

But to call DJT a racist is crazy talk from your side.
