Trump is the man, he has branded the things associated with his campaign with the core base group of people he appealed to. Just like the right tries to rebrand what NFL players say they are representing when they kneel for the national anthem, they say they are honoring BLM, the right says they are disrespecting the flag. The way a symbol is perceived is what it is, and MAGA hats and flag apparel have come to be symbols of racism and bigotry because too many people who are racist bigots made a deal about it. Whether Trump agrees or not, he did not divorce himself from the despicable groups that embraced his messages, he owns them forever.

Bars have been asking MAGA hatted patrons to take their hats off for some time, regardless of their political beliefs they would have an interest in preventing fights. My aunt had a bar across from a biker bar in San Mateo. Bikers were coming over to listen to live music and it was causing a lot of fights, she had to keep three bouncers on to try to curb it. She decided to tell bikers that they needed to remove their vests and jackets and hang them up. They had an attitude about it and she'd tell them to leave.

People do not like to be forced to remove the things they identify with, it feels like a violation, I get it. But social recognition to identities is going to send a message about what people in general think about something or a group of people. People are fed up with racism and hatred, and they are going to reject whatever is brought in as identifiers.

My neighbor was wearing a MAGA hat and a really nice flag shirt to a state auction. To him and Trump supporters they thinks it represents patriotism and love of country. People are seeing it differently, it is becoming a symbol of racism and hatred, it symbolizes the divide. James was shocked when he struts his new $90 flag shirt (purchased from a Trump support site) and his MAGA hat. He was laughing telling me about his day. He said he could noticeably see people keeping their distance like they were afraid of him. Someone he knew who is a republican came up to him and told him a lot of people knew what his truck looked like, and it was likely to be vandalized, he told him he was crazy wearing that crap. He was bidding on something and the auctioneer paused and said James is that your fancy F-250 King Ranch out there? He said yeah, the auctioneer said thought so, nice, better move it before it gets towed. He said to hell with this I'm outta here.
