I’m Going To Buy A MAGA Hat

I don’t wear hats that often, but I think I could make an exception for this one.

An anti-MAGA Hat made by a Greenlandic creator that reads: “Make America Go Away” has gone viral as Usha Vance’s visit to the island approaches.
Aannguaq Reimer-Johansen, the creator of the anti-MAGA hats, has said he believes her visit is a “charm offensive,” and that he wants people in Greenland to show that they do not want the U.S. to take over their nation.

“Recommendation to fellow citizens in Sisimiut: Vance’s wife’s visit is a charm offensive. If you smile at them or take a selfie with them, you are sending a message to the world that you love the USA and want to be part of it,” he wrote on Facebook. “It is recommended not to show interest. We have already expressed our stance through a large demonstration—let’s remain firm and stay united.”

He’s right. Any little action, no matter how innocent, can be twisted by these maniacs into whatever they want their believers to think it is. It can be hard to be rude to people, but sometimes people deserve it. This is one of those times.

A quick Google search suggests that similar hats are available all over the place, but assuming that they really are this guy’s idea, I would hesitate to buy one from anyone but him. There’s no telling where the money might be going otherwise.
