[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cool kids are MAGA. The early 20s ones even wear the hats, in fact, I've seen them wear them abroad. This makes a lot of sense because being young is about questioning the dominant culture, questioning your parents (who tend to look at Trump in the same way 50s parents looked at Elvis's dance moves), and reacting in a way to correct for society's past mistakes. Whether the left is right or wrong, they are incredibly consistent and ubiquitous in their messaging, so it was predictable that the youth would turn MAGA. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

The 20 somethings see them as cringe too.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
But according to the PP the “cool kids” are wearing the red hat. 🙄[/quote]

Hate to say it, but I think OP is right.  Go to any Lacrosse game, private golf course, Top Fraternity on an SEC campus, Country club - places with rich young people - and the MAGAs are everywhere - easy to spot even without the hats.  There is a definite look - think Charleston, SC - Blonde (or at the very least, good hair) , white (yet tan), Preppy/bright very put together outfits, Louis Vuitton bags, cross around their neck...forget the hat - what I just described is the MAGA uniform.  This segment is growing fast. [/quote]

Your cartoonish description isn't quite right. Most of these young people are totally for universal health care, the environment, fair taxation, a safety net, LGBTQ rights and all the other things liberals used to care about. But progressives have successfully demonized young white people in particular. It's not surprising young people have turned against Democrats. Soy-boys is what they call progressive males. Among young people, there is no respect for progressives. Progressives seem to hate straight umc white kids, and that hate is returned in kind. It's stupid. And it's sad. But good lord, progressives have done an unbelievable amount of damage and they are losing an entire generation.[/quote]

I hate to agree with you. In part there is an undercurrent of revanchist sexism & racism.  But also an undeniable and inevitable reaction to the toxic language that was allowed to flourish by progressives and enforced by cancel culture. [/quote]
