I've been wearing my MAGA hat every time I go to town for several months now. Perhaps as much as a year, I don't really recall. In that time, I've received exactly ONE verbal negative comment. Chances are I've missed a few dirty looks, but only one person actually said anything, and that was a drive-by. OTOH, I get 4 or 5 positive comments every time I go to town. Today I even got a "God bless you for wearing that hat!" Probably not statistically valid, but it seems to me like Trump is going to kick some serious ass in November and Maine is a neon Blue state!

I'm in Los Angeles. My poll results would be based on whether I was in Good, Fair, Serious, or Critical condition after the encounter. “Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant.” – James Madison "Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others." - Robert Louis Stevenson | |||

Ouch. Frankly, I expected a lot more negativity here. Dunno if people are just timid or just too busy minding their own business. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I wear my red Keep America Great sweatshirt everywhere. I've never gotten any negative responses. I average 2-3 compliments and hand shakes though. | |||

I can't wear one around here; too many crazies and I have a pregnant wife and two little boys to think of now. I'm maintaining my OPSEC this time around - no lawn signs, no bumper stickers etc for Trump. It's sad but necessary these days. | |||

Illinois Review is a great local blog for the few conservatives remaining in Illinois. Here is a surprising story one of their people posted recently regarding wearing a MAGA hat to the Chicago Auto Show. MAGA Hat Welcomed at Chicago Auto Show By Randy Rossi Last year my friend and I wore our MAGA hats at the Chicago Auto Show to show our outrage at how Nick Sandman and his fellow Covington High School students were slandered by much of the “Fake News” for having the courage to peacefully stand up for “Right to Life” in Washington DC. We also wore our MAGA hats to show our support for their bravery and for “Right to Life”. We knew that we were taking a risk in doing so but we were prepared for being attacked either verbally or even physically but since we are both pretty big guys, we felt the risk was worth it. To our amazement, not only did we get no negative comments, we got many positive comments for many people including four Chicago Policemen who supported President Trump. I was so surprised by the positive response to our MAGA hats that I wrote a letter to the editor about it to the Chicago Sun Times which was published and then I was invited to be on John William’s radio show on WGN twice to discuss that experience. The whole experience was positive and it told me that President Trump and his agenda have more support than we would gather from most of the news coverage. Well my friend and I just went back to the Chicago Auto Show this year and once again we were highly motivated to wear our MAGA hats. This time we were motivated by the Democrat’s unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral “Impeachment “charade” and by Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’ s outrageous behavior in ripping up President Trump’s outstanding State of the Union Speech in front of the millions of Americans who watched that great speech which celebrated our great economy and the incredible accomplishments of the Trump Team which has benefited every American with the lowest unemployment in decades, significant increases in average incomes, and successfully renegotiating massive trade deals with China, Mexico, Canada, and South Korea that will also benefit every American. Once again we were prepared to get physically and verbally attacked for wearing our Maga Hats but we felt it was worth it to support our president. And once again we were pleasantly surprised by the positive response we got at the Auto Show. At least 18 people walked up to us and thanked us for wearing our MAGA hats and said that they fully supported President Trump and hoped he would win in November. Both men and women of every age group thanked us including an Illinois State Policewoman. The intensity of positive support for President Trump was even higher this year and people were more open about it. Surprisingly, we did not get one negative comment on our MAGA Hats. The positive response to our MAGA hats is right in line with current polling data. President Trump just got his highest approval ratings even while the impeachment “charade” was in process. I have no doubt it will rise even more because he was acquitted and because of Nancy Pelosi’s outrageous behavior when she ripped up his outstanding speech in public which turned off even more voters to her and her party. No doubt the chaos of the Democrat Iowa caucus and the obvious socialist tilt of the Democrat Party is driving even more Americans to President Trump and the Republican Party. While the 2020 election will no doubt be a tough battle, the combination of positive polling and seeing positive public support first hand for President Trump is a good sign for conservatives/Republicans. It appears that Democrats have crossed the line by declaring themselves the party of socialism, anarchy and open borders, and the celebration of the deaths of 62 million American babies through abortion. The other good news is that Nick Sandman just settled a multimillion dollar law suit with CNN over their false coverage of his brave and peaceful support of “Right to Life” in Washington DC. Maybe there is justice and karma after all!! _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

That actually was kind of funny even though I am sure they thought they were demeaning Trump supporters. | |||

KY tends to leave others alone. Probably because most folks around here carry guns. | |||

I'm with you on this one, don't need to stir the pot, too many that may have issue with it. OPSEC is a good thing at times. _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

That is great but might be flawed due to their size, it’s a car show and the looney left ANTIFA group don’t work and can’t drive. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Is it possible that you present an image of someone they don't want to mess with? A 'don't start none, won't be none' kind of situation? I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 ...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted] | |||
