Might as well have been wearing your MAGA hat in downtown San Francisco. College-trained urbanites are all the same be it in France, America or anywhere else in the Western world. Rootless cosmopolitan scumbags who follow the narrative. Borders are evil, le Drumpf is literally Hitler. And so on. When it comes to America specifically the conditioning is arguably even worse outside of the US, because we generally just don't know the first thing about America, and only get to hear whatever the media want us to hear about it. We don't have Tucker Carlson and the likes to give us the conservative point of view.

In small towns or the countryside people wouldn't care about your hat. They'd just find it weird, in rural France of all places. At worst they might comment on how the TV told them Orange Man bad but they'd listen to what you have to say.

I'd feel safer in Paris than SF with a MAGA hat. Lived in both cities. Much safer in central Paris. On the outskirts of Paris, being white is a problem. But in the central district you are safer than in SF if wearing a MAGA hat.

Well you get the idea. Paris isn't exactly the place to be for the patriotically-inclined.
