A prominent liberal author has compared the red “Make America Great Again” hats to Nazi swastikas, and told “normal people” — that is, people who don’t support Trump — to stop wearing any kind of red hat, lest they start “making people scared.”
Rebecca Makkai, who has been a finalist for both a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, made the controversial comments on Twitter, according to Fox News.
To be clear, Makkai really was talking about all red hats. In fact, she even specifically asked fans of sports teams that wear red hats — such as the Cincinnati Reds and Washington Nationals — to not wear those hats out in public to avoid making other people afraid.
“Not worth making disenfranchised people feel unsafe,” she wrote.
Makkai also had a problem with MAGA parody hats:
“Also, for the love of God: The clever folks wearing “Make America Read Again” or whatever caps — NO,” she said. “You’re making everyone scared. Don’t do it.”
Honestly, there are so many things wrong with this that I hardly even know where to start.

This is silly. People should stop wearing all hats, some people are colorblind.you know.
PDJT may well be remembered in large part for his work against trafficking and pedophilia. Other things, too, such as the Space command, judges, wall, and economy, but going after these international rings is praise worthy right there.
“Are colors scary?” “Chromatophobia “?
“color red is terrifying if it is used as drops of blood in a film that is essentially black and white”
“touch of white that scares the bejeebers out of us in the form of ghosts and spirits.”
“Jaws”, “color blue disturbing, along with the gray and black of the shark itself “
“eerie gray blue water scene with white mist “”can raise the hair on the back of your neck”
“Other items that can be scary or repulsive because of placement of color are things like green teeth, orange hair, black toenails, purple skin, gray milk, and of course, green cheese.”
“green in the colorization of film scenes can add a sense of foreboding”

Red hats make the snowflakes wet themselves and go running for their “safe space”.
Red pussy hats are OK? Who TF would even consider wearing one of those. I think they use them as a brain sponge to absorb the leaks.
I was at a golf outing over this past weekend and was having breakfast with an old {84 yr old} friend and a life long demonRAT.
The man has NEVER voted for a pubbie in his life.
As talk wound around to politics, I axed him which demonRAT he favored in this cycle and he responded by showing me his brand new "Trump 2020" bill.
I almost passed out.
When this demonRAT voter, having been an active loyal, demonRAT voter and donater for over 60 years is going to vote for Trump, Pennsylvania is going Trump, bigly.
wow.
What about companies that use Red Hat Linux?
LOVE IT!
The Red Hat wearers ARE the normal people!
