    A reminder that they weren’t young either, they were 24 to 35 year olds.

      Voting age and actively political. In other countries we’ve labeled younger men as being ‘military age’ and shot them for looking funny.

      And they’ll still be part of the Republican party, and largely still talking to each other in the same way.

    Simultaneously, they will announce a new organization: The MAGA Youth. With uniforms and pledges and no group chats.

          Baseball caps have been completely ruined by maga. Just like how arm bands were completely ruined by the nazis. Also both are red.

            Eh. The greater punk scene have done a good job of “taking back” armbands over the decades. And baseball caps are fine so long as they aren’t red… or camo.

              When I see them out in public I am immediately put on edge, especially when they are red. Sure not everyone who wears armbands are wearing the Nazi one, not everyone who wears a baseball cap is a neonazi. But the overlap is undeniable and they are a red flag when I see someone wearing them. Doesn’t matter if it is the one we all despise or not, still puts you on edge.

                You do you.

                But personally? Unless it is a red hat or a camo hat, I just… assume anyone in a hat when it isn’t raining, on a hiking trail, or at a sporting event is a douche nozzle. But not necessarily a magat.

                Most of us balding millennials wear caps, but not because we’re fascist.

            There’s a type of cap that fulfils all the same functions while looking much better. Just search for “mao cap”, they are readily available with or without red plastic stars.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
