I saw my very FIRST MAGA hat, this morning

I was waiting to have blood drawn at the medical clinic. This massive man walked in with an angry look on his face and a slightly too small maga hat perched on his big head.

And, yes that actually was the first time I've seen someone wearing a maga hat. I guess I live a somewhat charmed life.

Yea, Deming is pretty conservative, I think. I live in Silver City and we’re pretty liberal, for the most part.

I see way too many of them...but now that I think of it, I haven't seen as many lately. Maybe treason makes some MAGAts uncomfortable.

a couple weeks ago and there were so many tRump signs and flags and Let’s go Brandon throughout all that agriculture…it was astonishing. One tRump flag had a hammer and sickle in the corner. I about drove off the road.

I went down to Columbus Saturday and I saw a lot of bumper sticker and fewer flags. Some were blatantly flying F*** Biden flags.

But the ones I encountered were pretty subdued.

I see them all the time around here. Although, not as much recently.

I was actually behind a car this morning with Biden/Harris stickers. I was trying to get a look to see if I knew here since we Democrats tend to stick together. Couldn't get close enough.

But it made my day.

I opened my front door on this occasion a couple years ago to retrieve a delivered package. Imagine my surprise when I spotted a red MAGA hat upside down on the porch floor between my front door and the delivered box. The delivery driver must have been wearing it and didn't realize that it fell off when he bent over to set the package down. HA! I actually didn't know what I should do with it. Did I care that the driver lost something? Not in this case. I didn't want to give it to a charity, or even put it in the trash just in case it might be associated with me. I put it under a stack of stuff and forgot about it...until now. I need to get rid of it, maybe cut it up and then throw it away. I definitely don't want to get caught dead with it anywhere in my house. Suggestions for disposal?
