So, apparently I'm giving off MAGA vibes today with my outfit. I was just going for a red, white and blue theme.

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Nov 5 '24, 13:05

As I was walking a dog a woman and her dog stopped so they could say hi. She was friendly and as we were about to walk away she said she liked my hat. I said thanks and she replied with, "America first" in a whispered tone. I was quite shocked to hear someone say that in general but especially to me.
My hat that made her think I'm a Republican is a Ralph Lauren Olympics hat that says USA on the front. I hate that they've co-opted anything America related so that if you have a flag or something USA related everyone thinks you're a Republican.

I told this to my client after we got back and she laughed and said, "Now that you mention it." Ugh!!

My "MAGA" outfit for today

WE have a flag flying on a pole in the lawn, some folks do think it means republican, like dude, this is a military town and my dad was military - zeitgeist Nov 5, 13:52
I posted this before. I thought it might confuse any MAGA in the neighborhood. These colors belong to all of us. - zunk takes things literally Nov 5, 13:39 [Attachment]
When I early voted I was asked if I wanted a ballot example for the democrats. I said no thanks because I knew who I was voting for. Then I wondered - sycor Nov 5, 13:29 3
- There are separate sample ballots for each party? Yeah, I would have said no for the same reason and then had the same thought as you. Ha! -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 13:33 2
  - I think it's because of the unaffiliated races like mayor so the party offers their suggestion since they don't have a D or R by the name. -- nm - sycor Nov 5, 13:41 1
    - Ahh, makes sense. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 13:44
When I went to vote, I wore the running outfit I got for the 4th of July race including flag sneakers. I figured people might assume I'm MAGA. - Dano Nov 5, 13:22
The whisper is spooky. - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:20 5
- If these conversations can happen organically and with civility and respect, it can go a long way to repairing damage done by those who have... - Qale Nov 5, 14:26
- Interesting story and while I'd be hesitant to discuss things like that with a co-worker we do need to talk to each other more and understand - Krusty Nov 5, 13:27 3
  - Funny thing is... - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:31 2
    - Now you have someone new to say hi to or give the head nod when you see them. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 13:35 1
      - Agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:46
When I went to post to friends about election day today, I wondered "if I include the flag emoji will they think...." - ty97 Nov 5, 13:16
It's like going undercover -- nm - JD Nov 5, 13:16
I wouldn't have thought it if you hadn't have told this story. But I can see where the crazy thought process is coming from. - sycor Nov 5, 13:11 2
- She's seen so many on her side wearing USA hats she just assumed I was one as well. *sigh* I'm not going to stop wearing it but I might need - Krusty Nov 5, 13:39 1
  - This should really be a thing. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:48
Same thing happened in canada with the freedom convoy coopting the flag -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 13:10 1
- yeah fuck those putzes -- nm - mud Nov 5, 13:13
My friends and I talk all the time about maga has ruined the flag. We want to take it back by hanging them up at our houses - amanda Nov 5, 13:08 3
- Hang it up right beside the trans pride flag -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 13:11 2
  - perfect. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 13:23
  - nice -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 13:14
Yup. I debated changing the lights on the front of my house to a combination of red/white/blue and opted for all blue instead -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 13:08
Ohhh like when Steve Rogers whispered 'Hail Hydra' into Brock Rumlow's ear on the elevator! -- nm* - Jovian Nov 5, 13:08
I agree that unfortunate anything with a flag makes me think MAGA. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 5, 13:07 1
- Me too but I want to show my love of my country on days like this and it's getting more difficult. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 13:17
