Red Hats are a trigger for me I guess.

Was on back on Twitter a little bit ago and saw a picture of a red hat and click on it to read the article. I was ready to fight with some trumpers.

Good thing I did and not just blow up. It was a baseball story.

with my (once favorite) bright red NorthFace hat that used to be my hiking go-to?

Sigh. RW destroys everything.

I think the 4th of July will be a trigger point.
Watching the parade and fireworks with my liberal family. I will be surrounded by proud liberals.

I expect to see stars and stripes,and red white and blue hats.
Hopefully not many magat hats. I will be doing festivities in a liberal area .

I will do my best to enjoy myself despite my triggers and disgust.

There's going to be delicious cookout food.

I love fireworks.
And tasty food.

Someone gave it to me. It looks like a MAGA hat. But if you read it, the print says, "Made You Look, Black Lives Matter". I have to admit I don't wear it much because I don't want to be miss understood. I wear it to punk friends. They ultimately giggle.

or TRUMP on a red baseball type cap.

I love all shades of red from coral to pink to vivid orange to flag red on into oranges and maroon. We can't let tRump steal a popular color for all time.

but I'm not strong enough for that anymore. The last 5 years have taken a toll on me. Hell, I even gave my red World Cup Soccer ball cap to Goodwill.

I bought it sometime before TFG went down the escalator. It is solid red, with a gold USMC emblem on the front.

It's been hanging on my door, unworn since 2016. Was thinking of breaking it out, finally. Maybe I'll wait a bit longer.
