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.

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.

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.

The 20 somethings see them as cringe too.

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.
