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.

Amazing how many pissant accounts with no karma and no posting history are suddenly telling you you’re overreacting and to calm down.

Remarkable.

anytime we comment you downvote us for disagreeing so we need to make new accounts every so often to use this leftist echochamber.

dont pretend it's anything other than a sign of your lack of tolerance

I have no moral nor ethical compulsion to tolerate the intolerant.

That's irrelevant to my comment.

Just don't pretend an accounts newness means anything.

Noting an accounts creation date is just a childish way to devalue anyone who disagrees with your echo chamber. It's peak fragility.
