“Normal people” should avoid wearing red hats because they resemble Make America Great again caps, according to a Chicago-based author.

Rebecca Makkai, 41, tweeted Saturday that she feels “uncomfortable” around anyone wearing red hats these days.

“Like, I see one and my heart does weird shit and then I finally realize it only says Titleist or whatever. Maybe don’t wear red caps anymore, normal people?”:

Is anyone else made really uncomfortable these days by anyone wearing any kind of red baseball cap? Like, I see one and my heart does weird shit and then I finally realize it only says Titleist or whatever. Maybe don't wear red caps anymore, normal people?

“Not worth making disenfranchised people feel unsafe,” she said.

On Sunday, Makkai tweeted that the red MAGA hat has become a “symbol of hate” because of the so-called behavior of its wearers.

“If you’re here to be contrary: an equivalent here would be western Hindus choosing not to use the swastika symbol in public despite it being sacred to their faith because it would offend/frighten people. The red hat has become a symbol of hate bc of how its wearers act”:

Makkai also said that sports fans who wear red to cheer for teams such as the Cincinnati Reds, the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Washington Nationals should not wear their hats in public.
