A Black Lives Matter hat in rural Texas would be a better comparison,
albeit one that is tossing a bomb on the RIGHT side of history instead of the WRONG one.
To be clear, I don't condone assaulting anyone for wearing a hat and think this guy deserved to be fired and even fined or prosecuted if that's what he did. Even if I think only the lowest of bigoted assholes would be seen in public wearing a MAGA hat.
Wearing a BLM hat in an all-white, conservative area would be similar. I wouldn't condone someone being assaulted over that either -- and I would in fact view the negative reaction as more a statement about the reactor than the person wearing the hat in that instance, given it would be a reactionary reaction by someone who is ANTI-civil rights, as opposed to the opposite (which is the case with the MAGA hat). But the person wearing a BLM hat in the Waffle House Klanny and the Local Klavern frequent would indeed be asking for it, just like this asshole was when he decided to wear it downtown.
