I actually see “I am a racist” most of the time. I strongly considered buying one of these in 2020, but I didn’t think I could handle the number of people who would probably not actually read it. (tbf, I pretty much look like a maga)
I’m a middle aged white guy. It’s really not that bad. The look of betrayal when they figure out I am in fact mocking them is hilarious.

Me too!

That’s what attracts me about the idea, but I know I steer the other way as soon as I see a red hat these days. I would never be able to stop wondering about the conversations I wasn’t having with people.
Those conversations are wild. I’m a middle age, bearded, tall, chubby white guy that lives in a smaller pnw town and often get blasted in the face with some of the most vial hate speech in passing interactions with these people. It wasn’t like this 10 years ago. When we first moved here I was shocked at the shit these guys would openly say to a random stranger. Generally all it takes is a “wrong team bro” for them to get the hint thankfully.
You shouldn’t have hate in your heart anyways, but ignorance is endemic in rural areas. Just keep that shit in the barn and trailer park, Carl.
saaame. I am very unintentionally Maga coded. I went to a pride event recently and to get in I was walking past it to get to the end of the line. walked past a single guy (white, little pudgy, your average 20 something Maga) holding Trump signs and I walk past and he goes “hey brother! wanna–” and goes to hand me a sign and I couldn’t help the look of disgust I gave him with a little “ugh…” and he seemed absolutely gutted. he was gone when I got back to the same corner while in line. I like to think he saw me waiting in line and couldn’t face the threat of conflict over his mistake.
I tried to help deescalate a little tussle at a San Francisco nightclub where a progressive-minded young woman (who’d had a few drinks) became very upset seeing a red hat on a guy at the back of the dance floor. It was a parody hat!
(Upon learning you mistook a parody for the real thing, you’d hope to apologize instead of trying to save face by declaring yourself to still be in the right… but, alcohol.)
A walking red flag
No joke, I see someone wearing one and I walk the other wsy. Anything to avoid conversing with lunatics will make your day better
Same. I love the fact that they all festoon their car and house with Trump/Brandon/Fuck Biden stuff, between that and the hats, it lets me know who to avoid in so many situations.
“I stopped learning in the fourth grade and have no understanding of anything more complex than a toaster. I am about to impress upon you, in no uncertain terms, just how painfully unaware I am of my own ignorance; whether you want me to or not.”
From a woman’s perspective, I see “I don’t respect you or your body and want you to be my TradWife”.
Republican incel hot off the latest Jordan Peterson choir-preaching sermon: “Why don’t women like me!? It must be them!”
