MAGA hat means the person wearing it is retarded, belongs to a cult, and sleeps with their sister“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

Of course I don't see it as the same thing, however, I can't imagine why anyone would walk around wearing one. I don't just say that because it is Trump. It pertains to any hat affiliating you with any candidate or party. You never know who the crazy person is out there and the last thing I would want is someone physically attacking me because of who I support politically.Comment
