Every time I see a red snapback my mind immediately tells me its a MAGA hat, and I just can't get over it.

I have a red Cavaliers hat that I only wear outside around the house. It's clearly not a MAGA hat, but I still don't want any suspicion on me.
My favorite one is a red one and I wear it often. I haven't even thought about it.
I don't think I should stop doing something I like just because some idiotic humans decide to do that same thing.

Lol yeah I was just thinking of this the other. Whenever I see one, I think of MAGA hat, but I live in a super liberal area, so even though there are probably a lot of Trump supporters around, they wouldn't dare wear one in public.
There's two stages to this for me in the UK. Squint to see if it's a MAGA hat, then squint further to actually read the text to see if it's a parody. I've only seen a couple in real life, but seeing so many on the Internet has turned this into a habit.
Red is my favorite color. I'm not going to let a bunch of white supremacists pieces of shit ruin that
I feel the same way, but the old ladies have been wearing red hats for years
This for me.
Hell I saw MAGA hats pop up quite a bit back when I was in NYC a couple years back. One of those belonged to my jackass project manager. So that was fun. :\
I will have everyone know that it is just a STL Cardinals cap. But then, If I wear it out in public, people won't even look hard since I live in Trump country.
I own a red Chicago Blackhawks hat, and only ever wear it at home games because everyone there knows it's not a MAGA hat. Anywhere else and I get paranoid about people thinking I'm a racist dick.
For my own anxiety and blood pressure I can't, living in DC. One, a lot of the tourist shops will sell white or blue MAGA hats to shitty tourist punks who are the only ones oblivious or edgelord enough to wear them openly around here unless there's a rally of some kind. Two, the Nats, although I swear the shade of red is different for Nats and MAGA.
Yep. Cant even buy my buy son a red hat. "That baby is a racist!"
My wife thinks I'm crazy but I'm just not gonna go there.

I find it hard not to see at least vague racism with the red hat, yea. I mean, Trump came along with his casual and sometimes overt racism, and suddenly old white people just erupted with what seemed to be bottled up hate.
I always love this particular hot take because it completely misses the point. Nobody is telling you that you can't do something or wear something. It's about people's reaction and perception, which you have no control over.
"I love wearing white hoods and I'm not gonna let the KKK ruin that for me!" Shit is what it is, just don't be shocked by people's reaction.
Last year, I brought a red hat to take on holiday to France and Spain but after thinking about it I realise it was tainted due to Trump and MAGA, so I brought a grey hat.
Shame really as red is my favorite colour.

I live in Canada and even I do a double-take when I see a red hat. Wish I could say it was irrational, but I have seen MAGA hats more than acouple times.
In fucking Canada.
