CNN guest: 'I am triggered, I'm so triggered' by MAGA hats
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/23/2019 | Allison Elyse Gualtieri

A liberal CNN commentator pointed to the familiar red "Make America Great Again" hat as a trigger for her distress.

"Just think about the symbol of that red hat. When I see the 'Make America Great Again' hat now, Chris, I'm triggered, I'm so triggered," said Angela Rye during a segment on Chris Cuomo's Tuesday show.

The hat, she said, is a symbol of President Trump's policies — policies she said are bigoted.

"This 'Make America Great Again' hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a KKK hood. That is the type of hatred his policies represent," Rye said,

So now the MAGA hats are racist.

The only thing that’s worked consistently for leftists is the racism card. They glue it to everything they want to destroy.

Politicians fear it, businesses fear it.

So all they have to do is take advantage of that fear by tying the Make America Great Again message to their ‘civil rights’ propaganda. Only leftists have the right to not be triggered.

Only an ignorant dummy would fear that after they’ve beaten it to death for years now. The term “racist” has become a useless empty buzzword.

“Can there really be this many stupid people in this country?”

Decades of the Dems dumbing down public schools more and more, while promoting racism and the perpetual victim mentality, etc, etc, are bearing fruit in a serious way.

I’m so old, I can remember when Trigger was the name of a horse, not an excuse to re-enact the Terrible Twos.

I am so old I can remember when Roy rode Trigger down Market Street in San Francisco and people cheered. Ray Kroc was also in that parade in 1956.

Then go ahead and die. The world will be better for it.

I second that and would hope she would take a few million other snowflakes with her into the next life.

What did you expect? Half the people in this country are below average.

The “Make America Great Again” hats doesn’t represent racism to these people.

It represents the worst political loss in their entire life. The pain from that night for them still lingers. And the Hat reminds them of that pain.

Pussy hats. ACORN. Rainbow flags. Illegal immigration. NOW. Pride parades. BLM. Antifa. NEA. Taqiiya. CNN. They all trigger many of us.

Remember this character getting triggered?

This is part of what I call the Democrat Vampire Effect.

They use Pavlovian conditioning on themselves to the point where they start to feel actual pain on seeing things like a Christian cross or a Bible, a MAGA hat, anything pro-life, etc.

And the effect keeps getting stronger with them, to the point where they can no longer function in society. They become depressed, aggressive, and even violent towards strangers, and remain so hyped up they see “the enemy” in everyone and anything.

Other people living their lives becomes intolerable to them, and they want to outlaw or destroy anything not part of their zeitgeist.

In many cases it leads to clinical mental illness.

So can we be “triggered” by Black Lives Matter Hats, Shirts and Banners? I would run the other way if I saw group coming down the street with BLM hats.

Not bad, but niggardly means cheaply (as in cheapskate) - I will grant that a triggered one probably would not know that.
