I've seen just one cult member wearing a MAGA hat. He was shopping while wearing flannel PJ bottoms,

slippers and a trump* T-shirt.

I wonder if MAGA cult members wear their hats when the travel cross borders and over seas And, if they do, what sort of reception they receive. And, if they don't, why not?

This is my Monday morning ponder.

It's a VERY blue area - not a GOP representative, of any kind, in local, state or federal office.

A little way in any direction, and that demographic changes.

nor would they.

Hell a fair majority likely never leaves their own state.

Lack of travel shouldnt be evidence of anything. Often its a result of socioeconomics rather than culture

But asks, "why would I want to?" It's really an attitude, not a money thing.

I get the feeling that wearing those hats just 'empower' these individuals, and make them feel invincible.
