Wear one only if you are prepared for the possibility of being confronted or having your personal property damaged. You can't watch everything you own 24/7, especially in a public parking lot. The Left is full of people who give no regard to the lives of those they disagree with.

Please note I am not saying forgo wearing your MAGA hats in public. I am just saying there may be some backlash you cannot control.

The time is very near to damage rather then continue to just resist being damaged.

I appreciate everyone's sentiments in wearing your MAGA hat, but there is such a thing as "surrendering your position."

Many times, when practicing situational awareness, a key element is not just knowing your surroundings but how YOU look in those surroundings. If I'm at the opera it's quite different from me going to a bar with a pool table. As such, me wearing a suit and tie and nice watch vs a Van Halen concert shirt and jeans will signal much about me to friend and foe alike.

The same situation exists with the open vs concealed carry debate. Why tell the world you're packing heat? Yes, we all get that you have a right to carry and possess arms etc...but it is anyone's business? Further, by showing your firearm, have you "surrendered your position?"

There is a difference between cowering and being prudent. Indeed: why do most people have curtains on their windows? By all means, buy the MAGA hat. But you must realize that by WEARING the MAGA hat or shirt or putting a political bumper sticker on your car, you effectively surrendered your position for a certain sick part of our citizenry. True, you may also attract allies, but my experience is those allies run away in the face of opposition.

I'll keep my powder dry; your mileage may vary.

Perhaps it is time to stop the fear
