As an old white guy with military style short hair

who wears a ball cap can I just say to skinheads and other racists, for the love of Jefferson Davis, please adopt another look. Stick to Klan Dunce Cones and maybe, even better, turn your MAGAT ball caps into full coverage masks made of Dry Cleaning plastic.

the right wing racist "boogaloos" are trying to take his favorite shirts as their signature.

Idiots, all of them.

Trumpist militia monkeys is my lack of a filthy, sweat stained, giveaway "Remington" camouflage baseball cap.

I'm trying to figure out a way to not be mistaken for one of them.

Attach securely with the handy zip tie included. We'll pay you $19.99 to take it and you'll get a second one free for your Trump-loving family member.

16. Me, too. You know the look. Ballcap, black shirt, grey cargo shorts, all-black crosstrainers.

I'm not ex-military. It's actually more like an ensemble from The Summer Collection for Metal Heads. But as I approach 60, you really can't tell one of me from one of them if there ain't a band logo on my shirt that particular day. I haven't been out of my house (except for a daily walk around the block) since mid-march. But before that, I can't count the times some idiot racist on the bus would say something racist and then turn to me and say, "Right?"

So add me to the list of old guys saying, "Please change your uniform, you nazi fucks."

I'm 66 years old, as white as Karl Rove and short haircut. It hasn't happened for awhile but when Trump first took office people would just walkup to me and start talkin wingnut politics as if we were sitting next to each other at last night's Trump rally. I would quickly show them how bad they are at judging people by how they look.
