I've had a red Trump MAGA hat for several years now, but until today I've never worn it. I went to Meijer to pick up some groceries earlier today and decided what the hell, the libs are constantly throwing/wearing gay pride, trans, etc, crap all the time, so I thought it would be interesting to see what kind , if any, reaction I might get, given the political climate of today.
I guess I was expecting a few hateful looks, but I got exactly the opposite. First, while in the frozen veggies aisle I had a quite elderly couple right next to me. The man had on a marine veteran cap, and he just looked at me, smiled and gave me a big salute. Thought that was very cool.
On my way out two young ladies, Meijer employees btw, were at the door checking receipts. After I'd paid I moved out of the way to put on my coat when one of them approached me, and of course given that they were in their twenties I was expecting them to be libs. Wrong. She said she was SO excited Trump had won and hoped he would deliver on his promises to bring some semblance of normalcy back to our country. We talked for a couple of minutes, and I was impressed at how well she knew the issues, and hadn't been brainwashed by our media and education system.
There's hope yet for our youngsters if we show them right from wrong and guide them with the moral high ground. I might just wear it out again soon!!
