Because this!
Last September I went to Colorado for 10 days. Vacation.
I wore my MAGA Hat everywhere. I got nothing but positive feedback everywhere. But to be honest, the wife and I were riding the steam locomotives. Which meant I was with like minded people; Older, white, middle class and above.
I did, however, chicken out and removed the hat when eating out. Didn’t want some stoner working at a restaurant spitting in my food.
