Have you actually seen someone wearing a MAGA hat in real life?

Yep. At a mall in Massachusetts. A group of teens, the oldest in the group might have been 16, and one of them had the hat on.
You know how I just said I'd seen thousands? I saw them in San Diego.
Closest I saw anything was some Trump stuff in the high desert area where my girlfriend lives, but no hats. Never seen it in OC, LA, San Diego.
Metro Atlanta here. I remember seeing one guy in school—a very diverse one at that—and he was pretty open about it.
Yes while I was visiting DC last year. It was a mom... and she was buying a MAGA hat for her kid too!
I was in Daytona Beach in Florida this past weekend and saw a store that was full of these! Like, there's tacky and then there's this shit. I guess they know their audience. Lol.
The weirdest part, though, is that it was the only store that was selling this stuff. Every other tacky touristy store just sold generic tacky shirts and crap.

I was going to make a thread about how a campground I've been to for thirty five years was infested with Trump crap. Kids driving golf carts with flags, maga hats, flags over campers. It didn't ruin the experience but did sour me a little. Made me see a lot in the campground as trashy.
1. I saw a guy at my local supermarket wearing an Infowars x Trump t-shirt, and I politely but firmly told him this was a place where people bring their kids, and I wouldn't want my child reading that. You can believe what you want but some things are not appropriate for certain environments.
2. At our town pool there was an old grandfather with a MAGA hat. I was about to say the same thing, but then saw him with his 2 grandkids and he was really putting in effort to be a great caregiver and active grandfather, even though you could see that it was physically taxing for him (walking around the splash park and bending over). I still feel that you shouldn't be wearing a symbol of sexual assault, child abuse, and bigotry to a place where families go, but I realized by bringing it up I would ruin the day for his innocent grandkids, so I couldn't go through with it.

I live in NYC and have only seen it once. It was a family of four in Times Square. Father, two sons, and the wife were all wearing the cap. Were clearly tourists as well.
I'm in Los Angeles and have seen a hat, as well as a giant pick up truck that was decked out in Trump stickers. Like, that guy was really going for it.
Yes, a little kid in nyc of all places. No more than 15. I assume he was with his parents on vacation.
I havent seen one in Orlando but I've sure seen plenty of work trucks covered in his damn stickers.
I live in South Carolina right square in the middle of a ruby red state you'd think I'd see a lot but I actually don't. Oddly enough I did see someone today wearing one. I noticed him walking past my store looked about my age I'm 29. My stomach turned and I just wanted to walk out my store tackle the fucker and smash his face into the sidewalk.
I see more bullshit stickers than anything else. Anything from trump, guns, don't tread on me along with some radical Christian ones.

Only once. For context I live in the U.K. but have visited NYC (2016) and Chicago (2018). Only person I've ever seen wearing one was this scummy Tory kid in my College Politics class. He 'supported' Trump from day one. I'm pretty sure he bought one solely to see how many people he'd get a rise out of.
At Houston Airport for a connection. An old, old white guy in a wheelchair. I walked over and told him his guy was going to be dead soon and got off at my terminal.
Yeah, a lot here in SC and I saw some last month while on vacation back home to MO. At the Lake of the Ozarks I saw some kind of tractor supply place with a giant banner at the road that said "We have all of your MAGA and Trump 2020 gear right here! Come on in!"
I could see a MAGA hat here every day if I wanted to. If I ever get off work early in the morning and realize we need something at home and go to Walmart, every time I'm at the self-checkout about to leave some old wrinkled bastard comes in to get a paper from right by those stands, looking like a Sith that's been corrupted by the dark side of the force, and he's always wearing a MAGA hat.

I saw some guy wearing a homemade Keep America Great hat at some party, avoided him like the plague.
I live in a Central America country and work at a bilingual school.
There's an American kid there - son of a Mormon mission president - and he has a backpack with MAGA on it.

No. I'm in South NJ, which has pockets of red, but is generally pretty Dem leaning.
I DO see a fair amount of F-150s with huge US flags mounted in the back, so I am assuming that they keep their MAGA hats at home and weep into their US Flag every night.
A neat experiment in logic would be to ask him how America suddenly became great in the past 2.5 years, and what the plan for "keeping" it great is, going forward.

I saw a guy wearing one in a restaurant one time. It was around the election but can't remember if it was before or after. I see Trump stickers on trucks occasionally. I'm in North Carolina.
I feel sorry for all the baseball teams with red hats. :(

Yes, on a subway.
Not surprisingly, it was an old white guy.
And also wrestling:
Don't get worked into a shoot though.

"Well I'm free to wear what I want. All it is, is supporting our President. He's your President, too."
To which I replied, "True, you can wear whatever you want, but just in case you want to consider other people, please know that it makes many uncomfortable and is hurtful. I'm not saying you don't have a right to express yourself. Just be aware that you are in a society where other people are involved."
Then we parted, and a little further ahead an employee asked what we were talking about and he pointed at me, saying "that guy over there was calling my shirt offensive." Which I knew would be how he perceived it, so I walked over again (mind you, neither of us were getting worked up so no one was looking for a fight or anything) and clarified, "Nope! I was very careful with my words and I never said offensive. I just said it might be hurtful to people who care deeply about children and a host of other issues."
To which he mumbled something dismissive, and we both bid each other a good day and went our separate ways. I often go grocery shopping there with my children, and if they were there I probably wouldn't have said anything (my oldest one is 6, so I don't really want to introduce themes like hatred and bigotry yet) but I happened to be there by myself.

Oh, funny story: another time I was at another store and saw someone with a red MAGA hat checking out right next to me. We were in an organic food market with a lot of young progressives, in a somewhat diverse area, and this was an older gentleman, and something about the situation really got me heated. I turned to get a closer look and confirm that he was really wearing that hat when I read the text more clearly: MAKE AMERICA GAY AGAIN.
Got a good chuckle out of that one, although I felt bad for the people just seeing his hat across the street. It was red and had the same typeface, so it might've been a little too subtle. :/
