current gop behavior is pretty bad, i hesitate to associate with anyone still aligned that way if i don’t have to. it was not this way 10 years ago.

  The current policies and positions of the GOP are the exact same as they were 10 years ago (slightly to the left actually) it is progressives / liberals that have moved, not the GOP

    Child separation policy was new. Building a concrete wall across the border is new. Banning Muslims is new. Refusing a president the right to nominate judges and having the senate vote on them is new. I could go on.

I didn't say that, I just said that it is threatening to others to wear that hat. If anyone wears that hat knowingly in public, they do it to agitate others, IMO.

  You just said that... MAGA is support for Republican Policies. if you believe wearing a MAGA hat is "threatening" and you believe in banning people that "threaten you" then you are saying you want to bann everyone that supports Republican Policies. You can not say "I just want to bann people that wear MAGA Hats not republicans"... Republicans where MAGA Hats and Support the President, Donald Trump

  What else should we do to people who wear those hats? Refuse to hire them? Refuse to bake them a cake, or sell them groceries? Cancel their Paypal account, or deny them banking services?
