Of course.
For anyone who thinks this is just “money talk,” try wearing a “Make America Great” hat in San Francisco.
That’s all I need to say about the sad state of politics here.
- amazingman 1y agoWearing a MAGA hat in this specific political moment is a statement of callousness and overt approval of military and masked goons in our streets.
- rufus_foreman 1y ago>> Wearing a MAGA hat in this specific political moment is a a statement of callousness and overt approval of military and masked goons in our streets In other words, it is free speech. Should free speech be met with violence?
- tlogan 1y ago> Should free speech be met with violence? Free speech is overrated. We, the intellectuals, must make sure everyone is properly educated and understands that their thinking is dangerous to progress and humanity. /s
- amazingman 1y agoThat's a shiny echo chamber you have going there.
- amazingman 1y agoI've seen people wearing MAGA hats in SF, and they're never assaulted. Their speech is not infringed or suppressed. At "worst" they are sometimes met with more free speech coming in the form of opinions about their choices. Is this what you're complaining about?
- tlogan 1y agoHonestly, I’ve never been brave enough to try it. My neighbor had a Tesla, and it got vandalized. I do not know. I'm not MAGA while do have both progressive and conservative views (deepening on the subject) but the current environment is really really sad.

- amazingman 1y agoAs I responded earlier, I've seen it plenty of times in SF. Yet I've never witnessed anything remotely close to violence as a response.
- raddan 1y ago> The obvious implication, obvious even to people such as yourself who are...limited? Instead of the ad hominem attack, why not try a real argument? In your words, “no one is being fooled here.”

- esseph 1y agoIt's the modern white hood, except they're not afraid to hide their faces anymore, because they got all the power they need to do the things they want to the people they don't like.
- myvoiceismypass 1y ago> try wearing a “Make America Great” hat in San Francisco. I would imagine you might be met with scorn and ridicule but most people would just ignore you and walk past just like we do the crazies shouting about Jesus on a megaphone outside the Levi's on Market St.
- _DeadFred_ 1y agoTry going to one of the many Rocky Horror showings this weekend dressed like the characters while in a red state this weekend. Fewer people will see you but your odds of getting physically assaulted are way higher. You defiantly won't be able to go out to eat before/after dressed that way. Says a lot more about the “sad state of politics” than a MAGA hat (MAGA, the people whose official stance this week is 'political people being racist/saying they love hitler/rape in group chat at age 28 is totally ok') in San Francisco.

- cosmicgadget 1y agoYou really should say a lot more because it's not really clear what point you're trying to make.
