HA! Could you imagine if we all got together and bought red hats and Trump lost? There would be fucking chaos. The morons would be in the streets screaming about how they saw nothing but MAGA voters.
Eight years in and I’m still pissed about those fucking hats. I have this nice red cap that a friend gave me almost 15 years ago. It was custom-made, and has a starburst image that a third friend created… and the cap base is the exact same shade of red as those fucking Trump hats, so I’ve not been able to wear it in public for 8 years.
Nah it’s a real thing. The baseball team here has red hats and you used to see them everywhere. You see a lot of team hats in not red now, it’s not about “offending some mouth breather” it’s about a person a block away seeing me in my red hat and assuming I’m the mouth breather.
They ruined actual red hats faster than RedHat ruined a linux distro.
You’re free to feel however you want. I live in a reasonably sized city with a thriving arts and music scene, I’d like be able to go out for meals and drinks and go to various events and have conversations and interactions with people without their first impression of me being “ohfuck ohfuck ohfuck” as they struggle to read my hat as I walk by.
That they’d steer clear of a MAGAt doesn’t paint them as a mouth breather in this day and age; it makes them seem wary and like someone I’d agree with.
Got it. So the opinion of complete strangers means a lot to you. Especially people that jump to huge assumptions based on the color of your hat. What ever makes you happy I guess.
The opinion of strangers should have some impact on you. Too much and too little both lead to bad places. A little consideration for the opinions of strangers encourages pro social behavior. And yes choosing to avoid accidentally signaling something is part of pro social behavior.
Personally I like strangers to be less on guard with me, it makes my day a little bit more pleasant. I’m not going to judge people for choosing otherwise with something like a hat that happens to be red, but it’s not a choice I’d personally make

I had a coca cola hat that I used to wear. I gave up on it after the third person said they thought it was a MAGA hat at a distance.
Why? Are you worried about offending some mouth breather?
You’re looking at it the wrong way. You’re keeping morons away from you.

You’re not getting it. The person assuming you’re a trump supporter because you have a red hat IS THE MOUTH BREATHER.
Why do you care so much about what strangers think? If they assume then they are the assholes.
It’s asshole mouth breather repellent.

Sorry bro but if you jump to conclusions based off the color of my hat without even seeing what’s on the hat then you are the asshole.
I really don’t think I need to interact with an asshole. You did me a favor by avoiding me.
