I wear one of my 5 Trump/MAGA/2020 hats every day while driving to/from work. I've never worn one publicly except for at the Montoursville, PA rally a few months ago.
This morning, I decided to stop at my favorite local deli to pick up breakfast. After the high energy from last night's Colorado rally - I decided to keep my hat on when going in to get take-out breakfast.
There was an older gentleman who asked what my hat meant, I got really nervous and said oh it's just a design (MAGA 2020). A minute later, his wife said that she thinks it means Make America Great Again. I quietly said, yes, I support our President and love what he's doing for our country.
The couple said they're from a neighboring state and that the dems there are terrible and that they will NEVER vote for a dem ever again. They said they watch Fox and Mark Levin. I told them to check out OAN and Dan Bongino. They were so nice and excited and asked where they can order a hat like mine...
This morning, I did a 10 minute meditation about trusting God and about overcoming fear. The miracles happen when we choose to face our fears. This morning was a miracle to me, as I finally overcame my fear of getting attacked simply because of my hat. I told the couple that since finding the truth about so much in our world, that my faith in God has been restored (it got brainwashed away in my 20s) and strengthened beyond anything I could've ever imagined.
Prayers really make a difference, my fellow patriots. Our thoughts, beliefs and prayers shape our reality - focus our attention on what we truly want in our world and it will manifest.
God Bless You for taking the time to consider my story.
Great story, fren! And agreed that prayer does indeed work. However, I have had Trump stickers on my car since he announced he was running, and have had flags flying at my house including a trump flag and the lion flag for over 4 years, and wear my MAGA hats out all the time. I’m a middle-aged womsm Gen-Xer. I have never ever had a negative experience while wearing that hat. I may have received a few little side glances from people who are probably liberals, but that is it. I overwhelmingly get people constantly walking up to me telling me they are Trump supporters, pumping their fist saying MAGA!, Telling me how brave I am for wearing the hat, etc.
Look, I’m not brave for wearing a freaking hat, displaying bumper stickers, or flags. I’m an American. The day that I am not allowed to do this freely is the day that America no longer exists. And I tell them that in so many words each time.
We are the overwhelming majority. Believe it. Wear your hat out proudly every day. I promise you you will be overwhelmed with positivity each time you do.
...But I also carry a tasers day mace everywhere I go just in case… Because you never know when a retarded liberal will cross the line. (And I own a gun but it lives at my house).
I've tried "coming out" over the years. Each time, friends and acquaintances went full TDS on me. People I never thought would react so horribly. Especially people working to "help" their fellow neighbors.
Thanks for giving me some hope and inspiration! This was my first baby step in coming out and truly expressing myself to the world. Feels good, man... I love my online frens. Don't know how I would've survived the last few years without all of you!!!!
The truth is that women have some advantages that men don't. We get our asses kicked. Women don't as men are taught not to hit them. Now on the other hand, I'm surprised you haven't been vandalized.
