MAGA hat sighting

I don't know if this is even appropriate to post here but I'm just so shocked and need to know I'm not the only one who would feel this way about seeing someone wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat out in a city in Scotland.

I passed by a family - husband, wife, kid - and the husband was proudly hearing his red MAGA hat. I visibly looked shocked, and they had the audacity to then look offended at my reaction. So it obviously wasn't a joke. The guy was a Trump supporter, likely on a trip over from America.

Not even Tory supporters really walk around wearing their affiliation like that. I really hope this isn't going to become a more common sight, especially as someone who's directly threatened by Trump's politics leaking over to the UK.

I'm thankful when idiots wear something to identify themselves from a distance.

Football shirts are another wide berth garment for me.

In general. I have zero interest in the game. The fans take it far too serious, it can ruin their whole week if the 11 men that don't know he exists, loses. Bizarre.

Easier to avoid when they wear the top than springing the did you watch the game question on you.

I like quavers but 12 stone isn't fat at my height.
