A prominent liberal author has compared the red “Make America Great Again” hats to Nazi swastikas, and told “normal people” — that is, people who don’t support Trump — to stop wearing any kind of red hat, lest they start “making people scared.”
Rebecca Makkai, who has been a finalist for both a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, made the controversial comments on Twitter, according to Fox News.
To be clear, Makkai really was talking about all red hats. In fact, she even specifically asked fans of sports teams that wear red hats — such as the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals — to not wear those hats out in public to avoid making other people afraid.
“Not worth making disenfranchised people feel unsafe,” she wrote.
Makkai also had a problem with MAGA parody hats:
“Also, for the love of God: The clever folks wearing “Make America Read Again” or whatever caps — NO,” she said. “You’re making everyone scared. Don’t do it.”
Honestly, there are so many things wrong with this that I hardly even know where to start.

I don’t think that besides baseball, I have ever worn a cap in my life.
That’s about to change :)
Red MAGA hats are a sign of safety to children who are being raped and sold into sex slavery by child sex-traffickers like Makkai and her disgusting pedophile freinds.
Some people say we should not open carry guns, that is the kind of thinking that got us here.
Depending on where you are it may not be safe to wear a red cap but we can’t lose any more ground, we must start pushing back in areas where it is borderline.
I need to get a red cap.
In Calif you WILL get dirty looks if you wear a MAGA hat, some near-scrapes, too.
But you WILL meet a lot of hot chicks, too..!!
This constantly amazes me.
When I get bad reactions in about 85% of cases it’s dudes, at least for me.
Normal people will never hear her. We are on a different frequency.
This female communist POS can take a flying “F” at a slow-rolling donut.
Who is this vile beotch to tell me, or anyone else, what we can wear or not wear?
All those pink pussy hats “intimated” me so no one should wear them? Yeah...riighht.
IF all it takes to trigger these communist SOBs is a red cap, they better get ready take a beating because a lot of red caps are on the way.
Tell that to the Red Hat Society.
What a silly, mentally ill, childish moron.
Becky needs to get a grip on reality.
We bought our Trump t-shirts during the primaries. We still wear them.
MAGA hat? Got ‘em.
Trump sticker on front door?
Check.
Eff these people. I’m sick of them.

That’ok, my Trump hat is WHITE.... That’ll fool’em...
100% accurate.
I lost all my friends because I wore my red cowboy hat to a halloween party. I’ve worn it every year, but this year, my “dear” gal pals decided it was a (God forbid) Trump hat. So I’m not invited to parties any more. And they don’t respond to my text messages.
That’s what you get, I guess, for hanging around with the wrong people. Need new friends. The Republican Women’s Club meets for monthly breakfasts at 5:30 a.m. Apparently they all have jobs and I’m retired and haven’t bee awake at that ghastly hour for ten years.
I have never worn anything or gotten door stickers or bumper stickers for an election. Ever.
This will be a first and I will be 52 at the time of the election.
And mostly it’s because I want to pi$$ people off :)
You’d think these Commie REDS would love “Red Hats.”
Liberals want to control EVERYTHING because they know better how to run your life than you.
I have a red Jeep.
If your friends ditched you because of a red cowboy hat
They were never really your friends.
Time for me to buy some red hats. Immediately.
