The bright red Make America Great Again baseball cap entered the popular culture as candidate Donald Trump’s political swag. It has transformed into an open wound, a firestorm of hate and a marker of societal atavism. An aesthetically benign baseball cap is a 21st-century grotesquerie. Has there been in recent memory any other item of clothing — so specific in design and color — that pits neighbors against each other, causes classroom altercations, sparks both rage and fear, and ultimately alludes to little more than a mirage?

The Left want to ban what they hate...particularly if that thing they hate is EFFECTIVE.
Eat my shorts Robin
MAGA hat bad; Che shirt good.
I wonder if the WaPo will get sold as part of The Bezos divorce? It would be a nice side benefit to see that paper sold and it’s assets dissolved. Might be some valuable underlying real estate to sell off.
I’m surprised at the comments posted at the article. Some really good condemnations of the author.
And they have guns! Guns, man! Guns!

How about the pink pussy hat?

As does any logo, hat, shirt, flag, coffee cup etc. that is identifiably from any campaign or party other than the Democrat party.
THOU SHALL NOT SPEAK THY NAME, BIGOT! SILENCE! and take off that hat! Orwell would be so proud. /s
They don't have anywhere else to go with the story. ALL of the original claims were lies (I won't list them: You alreay know). The only option left is to declare the MAGA hats to be the equivalent of klan hoods.
B*tch, please.

The loony Left is “triggered” out of its mind by a frickin’ hat.
The author of this piece is an African Bolshevik. The two groups that are perpetually claiming victim hood. In their eyes, anything that represents the American Founding Fathers order is a threat to their utopian Marxist dreams. To them, even the USA flag is analogous to a swastika.
There is no getting along with them. They cannot be reasoned with. The sides are forming, and war is coming.
My MAGA hat means Obama/Bush tried to wreck this country it is time to get it back.
If I wear a black one, won’t that be OK?
Could someone post pictures of Black conservatives in MAGA hats?
Intolerant Psychopathic people are the problem - which includes the author of this BS article.
When they wear their pussy hats, Hillary and Obama apparel nobody says a darn thing. We just laugh. When we wear MAGA hats, it is a reminder that a non-politician is accomplishing great things and showing up that party animal they elected to destroy America.
When President Trump deregulates, gets a tax cut passed, attacks unfair tariffs, and renegotiates trade deals, businesses come home, jobs are created, and prosperity ensues for all citizens. MAGA works. When enough democrat voters wake up to the fact that real jobs don’t need a minimum wage, President Trump should take 2020 in a landslide.

Which is why millions more Americans will buy one after the Sandmann fiasco!
