LMAO nope. Everyone looks at you people wearing your cheap-ass Chinese made red MAGA hats and sees ignorant, self-centered dorks, it's complete cringe - the farthest thing from cool. Cool isn't gonna come from a senile, octogenarian boomer. And wanting to go back to some notion of an imaginary 1950s that MAGAs want isn't in the remotest in being forward thinking. No matter how much you want it, "cool" is never happening for you.

It's true that the 40+ crowd sees MAGA hats as cringe. But I'm telling you what I am observing. I'm seeing 20s white kids walking around clubs in MAGA hats like a fashion statement.

Seems kind of nonsequitor.

But a lot of the teens don’t.

It's not stunning if you talked to them before the election.

The Dems lost because they would not take an anti-Israel stance. The GOP did a fine job in dodging and deflecting the question enough that GenZ ASSUMED that Trump would also be hard on Israel and against them.

Conversation I had with a GenZ relative who voted Trump:
Them: Kamala wouldn't denounce Israel and their genocidal actions.
Me: Trump literally gave a speech in which he said he was the people of Israel's protector.
Them: He said he was the protector of the Jewish people, and they needed to vote for him to have the greatest protection. He didn't say he'd protect Israel.
Me: The Jewish people of Israel ARE Israel. There is no distinction. He said he wanted to protect the people of Israel which means he wanted to protect Israel.
Them: No, I don't see it that way, sorry.

Here is the definition

That list is not entirely correct. My kids are a crossover of each.

The Gen Z kids I know were smarter than that. They were unhappy about the situation, but absolutely knew Trump would be worse in every way.

Don't know where that PP is hanging out, but I've not seen a single red hat at any of my kids' three schools (high schools or colleges). It's absolutely cringe.

Young GenZ MEN (boys) are right-wing.

Incels.

PP must be somewhere like Roberts County Texas, 95% pro-Trump and 92% white. "MAGA hats are sooo cool and sooo popular with the 20 somethings" just isn't a thing in most of the rest of America.

Many of them are Joe Rogan, barstool conservative types.

That’s exactly what I said 2 pages ago and some DCUMers started attacking me! I have 3 kids who are between that group and I know them and their friends fairly well…

May be the White young men - my young men are anything but right-wing. I am worried about how much stress they are under now based on what America has turned into to in 3 months!

What you are seeing are the usual a##holes. No decent young man is wearing a MAGA hat.

But... a lot of young men feel ostracized by Democrats these days. The more extremist will go MAGA. But don't think for a moment that young men identify with Charles Allen, Brianne Nadeau, Janeese Lewis George and so on. These young men have no place to go.

And they are going elsewhere because progressives hate them.

I don't know what else to say except Democrats are morons.
