A couple of years ago we got new nextdoor neighbors. I met the wife outside while wearing my MAGA hat.
She smiled and said her father is sure going to enjoy his winter visits here!
That is an excellent way to sniff out locust-like lefties! Very clever. And because they’re on your turf and in the minority they won’t dare start outright screeching and snapping at you but still, you would be able to tell what their drift is by their reaction to the MAGA hat. Well played!
