Same reason kids used to wear Cradle of Filth shirts with pictures of nuns masturbating on them. For some reason they think Donald Trump is funny. Old fashioned rebellion and meme culture colliding.


SMH dude. Come on. They're kids. You can do better than that.
With the internet of today and the type of information avaible at a whim? I think you're not giving enough credit where credit is due.

Hmm I can see the shock culture favoring this type of behavior, especially after the suicide in Japan recording incident and the supporters that were out there. But with what Trump is associated? Idk

White supremacist jokes must be super funny to their classmates.

Not meant to intimidate at all. Nope.

I remember in middle school when a bunch of kids were suspended for throwing rocks at a muslim woman walking by with a stroller. Y'know, for the lulz! This didn't at all leave a mark on every brown kid who went to school with these people. It clearly meant nothing!

A lot of just brushing this off in this thread. Most of the assholes I knew in HS are still assholes. aka most people don't actually change much from how their parents raised them. They have maga hats, their parents are cool with that...

Not many see anything beyond that for their entire lives. People are fucking dumb in other words and they tend to stay that way.

MAGA is the new counterculture. Pissing off libs and SJWs is their past time. /pol/ and The_Donald are popular with them and their hang out places online.

They, like most kids, believe what their parents taught them to believe.

I'm pretty sure this is the right way of thinking about it all sadly...

Good to know an open threat of the marginalization of minorities can be passed off as counter-culture. This won't at all negatively affect the kids these fuckers go to school with.

It's tempting to believe they're only trying to get a rise out of people, but they're probably just dumb and racist.

Any thread where there is a chance to defend racist behavior there will be tons of brushing off.

Odd, that.

But I don't care if you're 60 or 16, you are wearing that hat for a very specific reason.

It's arguably more important to talk to a younger person about wearing a MAGA hat than an old fart. Old fart is a lost cause but a younger person you can possibly convince that shit isn't cool.

They were pretty easily convinced to wear that hat and the opposite might be true as well.

Half the fucking tourists on The Mall wear dumbass flavor-of-the-week AMERICA shit, it just so happens America's flavor currently is Trump. It's frustrating, to say the least. I don't like hanging out on The Mall for a variety of reasons, but the influx of Trump shit has definitely made me avoid the area almost entirely since he's been in office.

I had to take a pit stop at the Lincoln Memorial to take a piss on my run today and there was a group of ten year olds wearing the gaudiest TRUMP-45 hats I've ever seen. I'm sure Lincoln was thrilled.

I live in NYC so I never see people wearing those hats, but I'd be really tempted to ask them why if it was a teenager.

I guess it depends on the community. I knew so many kids who were assholes at 14, but had totally chilled out by 18, and I think it's because bullies just weren't popular in my school, and nice kids were.

Millennials grew up jamming to a guy who bragged about hating gays and lesbians, and yet are the most tolerant generation to date. I have faith in Gen Z, though I'm certainly not expecting them to save the planet or anything.

I don't think most people are trying to use it as a defense. It's just what it is, sadly. We're seeing the rise of a new generation of Nazis, we're now sufficiently far removed from the horrors of WW2, and people have a short memory.

Knowing what you are doing and understanding the results are different things though. That's pretty much Trump's creed in a nutshell is it not? The guy thinks he knows what he is doing but does not understand the outcomes or dismisses them if they aren't favorable.
So he didn't know what he was doing, when was being a racist piece of shit his entire life
SMH dude. Come on. They're kids. You can do better than that.
Who know what they're doing, and responsible for their actions.
"Joke's on you, I'm only pretending to be racist garbage!"
"Just a prank bro"

I'm a millennial and I didn't grow up to jamming about whoever you're even talking about.

So what would be the proper way of teaching them? I certainly don't remember as a teen going into some sort of counter culture thing where we think highly of a president with the type of crap he does. Or at this point are we doomed as a society with the kids of nowadays?
They need to see Trump and his cronies get dammed to hell and charged with many reprehensible crimes. Then they will see for a fact that the MAGA hat is symbol of true corruptions and stupidity.

We gotta have hope to some degree on things we can't change immediately. Kids do grow up and become open to new views. Here we had people discuss not to long ago what views they had in the past and many admitted to things that are very frowned upon today

He's a troll in their minds and they love it. And they are young enough to think that's what it is, when it's really not "trolling" at all. It's just a funny game to them, they don't get and don't care that this shit is real life.

It's why my nephew is into Trump. He sees Trump as a troll and a bully and he loves it. He's 15. I'm hoping he grows out of it but judging by this site, he'll more likely just pretend to be in the middle instead.

Does your nephew have friends of other races?

Yeah, you're the dude concern trolling over the use of the word Nazi. Surprised you're still around.

Because people are using it wrong. Nazis are shitheads. Racists are shitheads..etc etc. But fucking learn to use words correct.

I would be a fucking bad nazi guy working on the other side of my home country.

I was a pretty intensely "rebellious" teenager, and not once would I ever have considered incorporating racist symbols into it.

It's bullshit to claim that teens just lash out at any and every value indiscriminately. They're old enough to know what they're doing.
