Some context: I live in a small city in Southeastern Georgia. I've seen MAGA hats on a near daily basis for the past 2 years or more.
Anytime I've ever come across a parody MAGA hat, I feel like the person wearing said hat has zero self awareness, and has not considered the optics. Anyone who supports MAGA will see your red hat, white font, and feel validated and emboldened in their viewpoints. They will feel a sense of pride and unity through you. "One us us", if you will. They might not ever approach you, read your hat carefully or find that you have a difference of opinion from them.
That is why, in my opinion, parody MAGA hats are akin to taking a Swastika and trying to repurpose it. You only strengthen Donald Trump's message by wearing one. If you're imitating Donald Trump's most widespread and famed piece of campaign merch, you're not helping anyone who stands against him.
The red hat, white font is a symbol of nationalism, intolerance, and racism. It should not be imitated, no matter what the message becomes.
What do you think?
