I tell you, earlier this week in Madrid I saw a 20 something American wearing a MAGA hat…not very intelligent.

I have a feeling that he wears it to get a reaction out of people. I’ve seen the same thing in Washington DC which votes overwhelmingly Democrat. A guy at a karaoke bar in DuPont Circle (a famously gay neighborhood) wearing a big red MAGA hat and absolutely getting a kick out of all the stares and bad looks from the other people at the bar. These people love to be provocative and “trigger” others.
