From the poll I started over [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-frequently-do-people-wear-maga-hats-in-public/952463) (thanks to all the participansts!) I guess I can say that the problem of wearing MAGA hats is not a serious one, as only two (edit: 3 of 85 now) respondents out of 84 so far wrote that they see them often, none sees them all the time, a small minority sees them every now and then, the rest (75%) sees them seldom or never. Therefore when you actually see one, it is shown with a purpose, and that purpose is nefarious: provocation, owning them f\*cking libruls, thus, yes: hate speech or on the way there. This, or you are not representative at all. But I believe you are. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-wearing-a-maga-hat-hate-speech/952457)._
