Funny how all totalitarian systems are similar. You're not allowed to voice a dissenting opinion from the forced 'norm,' or you suffer violence. This is why the constitution was the most progressive document ever written.
Thank God they added the bill of rights. We almost didn't get it because people thought those rights were so obvious they didn't need to be stated. The first amendment and free speech is the most important cultural precept of a free society.
(and 2A backs up the 1st)
I disagree - the government was given very specific, limited, enumerated powers - it is crystal clear that those are the ONLY powers ceded by the people and the states to the federal government. Adding the bill of rights implies that it is the government that gives us those rights set out in the bill of rights, and that is completely contrary to a nation of free people who have given the government very limited and specific powers. Our rights come from our creator, we're born with them, they aren't given to us by our federal government or the bill of rights.
I wear my trump shirt all the time in downtown dallas, 15 plus times, I work out in it. I've only ever gotten compliments, even from gay dudes at the gym (a lot of gay dudes frequent my gym).
My wife and her friend went to a bar a couple years ago and ran into a whole table full of gay dudes that love Trump. This is in downtown San Diego.
Her former co-worker is gay and his boyfriend is a 50-year-old gay avid Trump supporter.
Don't discount who your allies really are. I think sometimes it's easy to fall into the paradigm trap and assume that certain segments of people don't support you so you don't even try to win them over. this is a lesson that we can all learn from Trump, because he's campaigning in areas that Republicans had completely written off as being unwinnable and he won them.
Does it seem like there's always a line of dudes wanting to spot you when you hit the bench press? Does the gym pump 'It's Raining Men!' over the sound system frequently? In all seriousness though, I would imagine it's a good gym full of decent people who don't bother anybody. POTUS was the first candidate for POTUS to support same sex marriage as a candidate, so it's no surprise he's not viewed by gay men as bad orange Hitler so much.
was it just in the touristy areas, or when with an obvious tour group?
outside of the Mall itself, I doubt you’d experience that same level of nonchalance today. There was a video on here just a few days ago of a bunch of woke white blm thugs assaulting restaurant patrons for not raising their fists as demanded.
I'd say its a different thing. Antifa will attack you physically with some isolated deaths through the ordeal, ISIS operatives will try to kill you en masse. They plan big and try to take you out by the hundreds, and sometimes by the thousands as we've seen on 9/11.
As dangerous as wearing a MAGA hat in Ca?
Yes, but less dangerous than wearing a MAGA hat in Portland, were you are immediately executed by Antifa/Isis for you infidelity to communism.

The Chinese also often trained both sides in African civil wars
Fun fact: John F. Kennedy backed the coup that put the Baath party, and Saddam Hussein, in power in Iraq.

Then you will be blamed for agitating an otherwise peaceful crowd.
"Just submit to Communism, bigot!"
California is red without the illegal vote
Can confirm.

I think it might be you frequenting a gay gym. 😂 No harm.
" 'Accidentally' found this gym with a bunch of fags in tight shorts working out there."

A gay Jim digs Doug at gay gym.
To be fair, that doesn't make his statement inaccurate.

They might be watching your cute butt and trying to get into your graces.

Don't all gyms do this? You should see the bonding we do in the sauna.
I wore a maga hat in Portland in 2016. Wouldn’t even consider it now

Basically anything outside of Los Angeles and The Bay Area are MAGA.
