Yep, it is akin to driving down the road with a confederate flag. You are intentionally trying to illicit a response so you can go apeshit.

So much for the tolerant le- oh.
So much for the tolerant right?

He was arrested for assault, not his politics (I know you understand that, OP, not aimed at you).
Dude's lucky he didn't attack me, or he'd be swallowing that hat piece by fucking piece.

We may have rioting mobs of trump supporters before this thing is over.

Pretty much. He should've known better.
I was shopping for a new running hat early this year. I wanted to get a red Adidas one because I like the look and it seemed good for visibility but I feel like it'd be a bad idea and I really don't want to be mistaken for a MAGA idiot.

Awful, deplorable politics and violence, but pretty impressive that he was able to kick all those guys' asses.

Yea the only people who like him here are the 1%ers. Everyone else can't stand the prick.
He's ruined red hats for a long long time.
Well to be fair, when has the right claimed they were tolerant? Sure, they've bitched about the left not being tolerant, but I don't think they've ever claimed to be tolerant.

Yea bizarre. You would think 3 guys could overpower the MAGA loving idiot.

Being a NY'er I've seen lots of freaks and weirdos and never bat an eye. When somebody wears a MAGA hat I turn around, do a double check and say to myself "WTF is up with that guy?"
I pointed-out at a social gathering a few of the margins that Trump lost by in cities around the country. Believe it or not, many people don't realize how disliked he is within cities. I thought more people knew.

Did the loud man get the attention he wanted?

This is my question, how could this dude win this fight? Is he just a beast? Did he sucker punch them separately and stealthily? Did the other dudes not fight back?

Fuck outta Dupont Circle asshole. Alabama or Oklahoma is a better fit for you.
I've made comments to a couple of people in DC with that dumbass hat. They should be ridiculed everywhere they go in this area.

Because this probably wasn't his first rodeo. Just the first one that resulted in national coverage.
seriously. You gotta be pretty ballsy or completely confident in your fighting skills to wear them.

I hope his cell mate turns out to be a Trump hater
They probably think that because he's living here, we must be thrilled. (Arrested Development voice: They aren't.) Or, that there are enough tourists around, who love the Dumpster, to provide them some safety in numbers.
I wonder if they're brave enough to ride the Metro in that hat?

It depends, some Florida men are quite big, if you rush 3 guys as one big ole Florida man, and they're evidently peaceable minorities, you may be able to take them by surprise and get licks in.
I mean I personally extremely dislike fighting or fist fighting, as the thought of giving someone brain damage for life, over a dispute about, anything at all, isn't personally worth it to me.
I'd take a beating, even if I knew I could beat up the aggressor just because I don't want to be liable for brain damage charges.

Oddly enough, in my corner of Floriduh, only the olds wear MAGA hats, the young fascists stick with the classics, like the Confederate battle flag.
Too bad he wasn't in FL, there could have been a whole lotta standing your ground going on, on his dumb ass

I had hoped it would be Trump himself.
The red hats trigger a visceral reaction. It's weird so many tourist kids wear them.
A shame, as the Washington Nationals red hat is the tops.

I've seen folks flying full-size 3'x5' Trump flags from the backs of their trucks, so a hat is relatively small on the scale of things people will do to get attention for their Trump support.

Bush ruined red hats in DC before Trump. The Washington Nationals baseball team logo is a script W, so Republicans in DC adopted the red hats as their own subtle reference to Dubya.
Are those hats sold in public? I can't imagine a comfortable street were you can see people buying one of those and not having some kind of reaction. It will really be like buying a confederate flag
A friend bought one as a joke when he travelled to the usa, but never bothered to ask him how he got one, is ironic considering that he is a latino

Those specifically were ruined by their similarity to Walgreens.
I don't know where they get them, but I've seen tourists walking around on the National Mall (where the museums, monuments, and other important government buildings are in DC) wearing them.

Smh at assaulting people over politics, lot of people get riled-up by that :/
Why do you need to scream "look at me, I am a tough guy" on a videogame forum?

A few weeks ago I saw one in NYC running for the LIRR. I was shocked and by the speed the person was running either they were late for a train or afraid of being surrounded by the multicultural pot that is a NYC corner.
