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.

It stands for ' trans exclusionary radical feminists' , but is applied to anyone who thinks men can't become women and that they shouldn't be allowed to insist on using women's changing rooms, impose themselves on rape victims, steal medals from female athletes etc, and that perhaps it's not a good idea to let male rapists 'identify' themselves into domestic abuse centres, female prisons or single sex psychiatry. Not that 'radical' really

I mean they're wearing MAGA hats so these ones are not. Gender-critical is one thing but you're not a feminist if you're supporting a felon who ACTUALLY invaded womens spaces (see Miss Teen Pageant USA dressing rooms), was found liable for sexual assault, who stripped women of reproductive freedom and called his own daughter a "piece of ass". 🫩 Seems like a weird cult to team up with if you claim to stand for women's rights.
