    Strange as I know there is an area in the former USSR name the same as the US state of George but I did not know that there is a similar area name Texas as well.

    It would seem that Putin is sharing the internet work around his nation and not just having the postings coming from Saint Petersburg.

    Read an article how Russians are posting anti-Mueller stuff on Internet; Republicans are posting from the same site as Russians.

    No they are not supporting Democrats but troll Republican sites passing Russian pro-Trump propaganda to Americans.

    The hat has become a symbol of negativity in America. It's as if you openly wore a swastika in Germany today, you will get the living daylights beat out of you. The red hat stands for another time period in America that we have long advanced past. It stands for the fear of the browning of America (like the whitening of America in the 19th and 20th centuries wasn't a big deal) and there is a lot of stereotyping different nationalities and people behind that hat. It's pointing a middle finger at indigenous people and Hispanics. It's no better than a shirt openly displaying to kill cops.

    Some members of the left have become nothing but wannabe Stalinists.

    “Symbol of negativity” that’s a matter of ones perspective right? The Swastika has millions of deaths associated with it whereas a MAGA hat doesn’t. Just sorta seems like fighting stereotyping by stereotyping to make all those assumptions based solely on a hat. As far as wearing a shirt displaying to kill cops compared to a MAGA hat, one leaves no room for interpretation while the other does.

    Really, if Russia’s goal was a weaker America why wouldn’t they be spreading disinformation on both sides?

    Vladimir Putin’s goal isn’t—and never was—to help the Republican Party, at least in the long run. Boosting Trump’s presidential campaign was a means to Putin’s end: Weakening the West, and exploiting the seams and divisions of the West’s open democracies to undermine our legitimacy and moral standing. Russia accomplished that with great success in 2016—and it’s a strategy that is continuing to pay dividends today. “Their purpose was to sow discontent and mistrust in our elections; they wanted us to be at each others’ throat when it was over,” former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Mike Rogers saidlast year. “It’s influencing, I would say, legislative process today. That’s wildly successful.”

    Have they found out where the initial released video of MAGA teen Indian altercation came from?

    There is a reason that people don't wear white hoods when walking through Harlem.,

    The same thing applies to anybody wearing a MAGA Hat.

    Your handle is Andrew Jackson.

    Andrew Jackson was a white supremacist who owned slaves and violently drove native peoples off the land.

    Enjoy your cognitive dissonance.

    It’s one thing to disagree with the hats message or trump himself but it seems intellectually lazy to equate the two. I’m sure there are racists affiliated with all parties no?

    true. the pc gestapo will beat you down until even your own mother won’t recognize you. i think that’s known as tolerance and inclusion.

    I agree with somethings and I disagree with somethings. The overall factor is, I don't buy the t-shirt or hat to advertise that something.

    The only thing I've ever done is never have the EU flag on the licence/number plate of my vehicles.

    If someone wears a MAGA hat, their choice.

    The MAGA hat is now inexorably associated with extremist violence and racist ideation.

    Antifa attire and symbology have numerous negative associations as well, though RW extremists are vastly more dangerous and active now.

    One must make one's best decision within the context of these perceptual fields.

    I think that you got that ass backward. Wearing a maga hat makes the wearer more likely to assault/harass others. It's the new white hood among trump's base.

    Hell it a shame that you can not wear that hat or your KKK hood without being annoy in public,

    Oh for the good old days when you could block black children from the schools and it took US federal troops with fix bayonets to get them in when America was great indeed.

    "Is it wrong to wear a MAGA hat?"

    no more wrong then it is to wear a hoodie, though it might send a message to people, so something to be aware of, is that right or wrong, doesn't matter, it's reality, so something to keep in mind

    WRONG!

    During the 2016 primaries there were many Trump supporters harassed and threatened by leftist thugs brainwashed by the media.

    In fact, the REASON I became a Trump supporter was when Trump was forced to cancel his Chicago rally for these threats to his supporters. They successfully took away Trump's freedom of assembly and free speech rights. And threats and attacks on supporters happened many times during the primaries.

    The problem is YOUR OWN for becoming fascists in a FREE SOCIETY.

    Steve
