Is it what the hat actually represents (support for a populist president), or is it what the left wants America to believe it represents (today's version of a white hood)?
I don't think we were ever not great. It's funny, when Trump implies there was a time when it wasn't great, the left goes berserk. When Michelle Obama explicitly says she never felt pride in America until Barack got the nomination, that was OK.
But we can be better, and I think a return to a time when it was easier to be middle class, and to a time when we felt secure that our kids would have things easier than we do. That's how I see the MAGA slogan. I don't see anything sinister there. |

To me its just a red hat. What I think it may stand for could be completely different than what others think - and that should be fine based on free speech and freedom of expression. I don't wear or even have a MAGA hat but I have other hats that are red - amazing to see people I meet looking real close to what my red hat says like they're ready to pounce - in my case River Whyless, a band I love.
Just look in a mirror and keep repeating: It's only a red hat, It's only a red hat".

again the Trump supporter are unable to apply the same standard to themselves ..
they compare reactions to Trump's MAGA hat as hate or some form of reverse racism
They use Terms snowflake, socialism , communist Terrorism as their catch all with all whom they disagree Fear drives everything conservative
they see someone wearing a Che Guevara or Mao Tse-tung t-shirt to them it means something
But Trump's MANGA hat is just a Hat ... and a white supremacist wearing a swastika or other white national symbols are just exercising there 1st amendment rights ...
Their must be no mirrors in conservative household unless have to you.. say Mirror mirror on the wall whos the most American of us all...

What mass murderers did he compare Trump with, not Duterte that Trump admires
Or mass enslavers like Kim Jong-un who is a great friend of Trumps
Perhaps his good friend Putin, who he has secret conversations with.
Or the current ruler of China, who greatly impressed Trump when he eliminated term limits

No just making the observation that a T-shirt or a hat have meanings
And it depends who’s wearing it a child or an adult that also makes a difference

Every time I read one of your posts like this, it just reaffirms the belief that the true crisis that is gripping America is the decreased availability of affordable prescription medications.  |

Thanks for giving your view of that. I have asked a few times and people have always dodged that question. |

Double standard what a comical thread
if Obama said or did a fraction of What Trump has done and Said
Those here defending Trump today would have all had brain aneurysms
and become dehydrated from all the foam coming from their mouths
But yet the more he says the dumber His statements or his actions become the deeper they entrench themselves in his defence .. it's amazing to watch |

In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!
