Absolutely a real thing. Try wearing a red MAGA hat in your local mall.
“Try wearing a MAGA hat in a mall”
Sure, I know what you are saying but you know the location of the mall matters.
I recently moved to SC and it is a totally different world than my previous homes which were in NJ and MA.
Here in SC churches abound, seems like there is one on every corner. The license plates can have “In God We Trust” on them as mine does and I have seen plenty OF MAGA hats.
Liberals are badly outnumbered in this area and they know it.
I do, BUT, I carry, always.
At my age, I am not intimidated by bad looks or comments, and since in PA we have the castle law, {which means I can shoot a perp if I 'feel' my life is threatened, with no need to retreat}, I have no reason not to wear my MAGA stuff, hats, shirts, vests and a even a MAGA tie.
I get more thumbs up than the stank eye.
Liberals really are ball-less when challenged, unless they out-number you by a big margin or are twice your size.
