I wore a Trump hat to a doctor’s visit. The doctor made a strange comment, he was obviously on the opposite political point that make me uncomfortable. What shall I do on my next visit?

You have every right to see your doctor, and express you opinions with your costume, and we do live in a a mostly free country, so you have a right to fart loudly and repeatedly at a tea party, after showing up wearing shorts and no shirt, then standing on a chair and loudly signing Die Fahne hoch (the anthem of the Nazi Party) while handing out ultra right wing anti-feminist propaganda literature, printed by your local Misogynist Missionary Ministry. Up to you.

I wouldn’t want you to sit in my waiting room with a Klan hood or Porno hat, or Pro Choice Burn in Hell banner. You might as well be shouting “Look at me, I’m special, or at least I’m better and smarter than you, lame libtard!

The uniform makes the man. The man picks the uniform to make a statement. The US president is quite controversial, and many folks fear harm from him, and many others see him as kind of savior.

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

Taking one side or another — like wearing a maga hat to a professional appointment, is intentionally provocative, and is a perverse assertion of “freedom of speech.” Most adult men know to take off their hats indoors, and do so. Wearing an intentionally divisive highly recognizable brightly colored hat in someone else’s professional space is rude and constitutes a challenge. Doesn’t matter if it’s Trump or the Proud Boys, or pro-choice or pro-life, or an endless list.
