Throughout history, hate has worn many hats, and right now, the most visible one is RED. Every hate group, every abhorrent political movement, has needed a way for followers to identify themselves to each other, and it all starts with a hat. An article from January 2019 in The Washington Post argued that the meaning of the MAGA hat had evolved beyond simple political merchandise. The author described it as a symbol "of exclusion and suspicion, of garrulous narcissism, of white male privilege, of violence and hate". A November 2020 article in The New York Times cited criticism from columnist Charles Blow, who claimed the MAGA hat had become a "new iconography of white supremacy, white nationalist defiance and white cultural defense". An article from The Conversation in May 2020 discussed how a New Zealand politician's ownership of a MAGA hat sparked controversy. Critics saw the hat as a symbol of "violence, division and exclusion" and felt it undermined his political judgment.
MAGA knows what their hat represents, and they will take pride and joy in the negative reactions they get from it, using it as a magnet for those like them, and a strategem for identifying "libtards" worthy of derision, scorn, or even violence in their eyes. some wear it as a challenge, daring anyone with an actual soul to "Come and Take it", a symbol of division and otherness.
We've seen it before, in the hoods of the KKK. Or in the Confederate stars and bars chapeau. We've seen it in the death's head of the SS cap, and even in the reverse form of the shaven heads of Neo-Nazis. Any way you look at the bright red crown of MAGA, we have seen it before. It's just a Different Time, but the Same Hat.
