I just fought off the urge to punch a complete stranger in the head

OP
OP
Consider the sad and pathetic life that allows for someone's identity to be so completely taken over by regressive propaganda that they proudly wear apparel that literally says "make libs cry". This isn't a person to be punched, it's someone to be pitied. Pity that their life is so devoid of meaning that a punch to their head would be an actual highlight in their life for being "proven right". You don't want to give shitstains like this the satisfaction.

Nothing good would've come of it. About two months ago, a woman was arrested after she assaulted a man wearing a MAGA hat at a Mexican restaurant in Massachusetts:

The woman is an undocumented immigrant and now faces deportation.

You did good, OP. You restrained yourself, which is the important part. I can understand the reaction. I usually want to honk or yell at people with ridiculous bumper stickers on their cars, if I see them at stoplights, but I've managed to hold back. But I understand the desire.
I still haven't come across anyone wearing Trump shit in the DC area. I think it'd typically be tourists and I don't go where they go.
If and when I see one I will absolutely yell, "Nice hat/shirt, asshole." They deserve it.
But they're typically at The Mall and doing tourist shit. Like I've never seen one in Chinatown or Dupont or H St areas and I go there a decent amount.

If you see someone doing this for attention, be careful. They could use this as an excuse to cause physical harm to you. A couple of weeks ago. A guy wearing an MAGA hat showed up to a skating rink in SF. When he was confronted, he cut someone up with a sword.
Oh for fuck's sake. OP was clearly reacting to what the shirt represents and not the actual piece of fabric with words printed on it. Get out of here with that crap.
First thing I think of nowadays with out and proud Cheeto supporters is that they think kids in cages is just fine and dandy.
Did the guy have kids, OP. If so, tell yourself you're holding back for their sake. With a dad like that they'll be dealing with a lot of shit anyway :\
yeah that trumper totally got murdered, what a shame. reality, huh?
WTF, is this true? How did he even get a fucking sword into a skating rink?
Not worth but I get it. I'm a physically violent but I remember getting unreasonably angry at seeing a guy wearing a red hat on a Hollywood bus tour. I wasn't even close enough to verify it was a Trump hat.
Like, fuck off. Trump is an asshole who dabbled in cruelly enacting political vengeance on this state and your Iowa ass is going to tour our city wearing his hat.

That is some pretty serious provocation but your restraint is admirable.
Anybody wearing that embarassing Trump gear is almost certainly an asshole in need of a slap though.

From that very article:
That's some crazy shit.

No. I don't even think I know how to really throw a punch without hurting myself.
You didn't even make a wisecrack....this just sounds like something you thought for an instance in the back of your mind and in the retelling you were holding yourself back.
Don't listen to arm-chair therapists, OP. Anger is a gift.
If you see someone wearing a Swastika, you should feel the urge to punch someone in the head. Wearing the icons of modern Fascism should give you the same reaction

This thread feels like fishing. Like, you're either kidding or really need to settle down. You should be laughing at someone that stupid.
wanting to punch a dude for wearing a dumb obnoxious shirt is a tad ridiculous
I see bumper stickers on trucks about building the wall and wanting lock Hilary up, I don't feel the sudden urge to run them off the road
They felt anger towards someone who supports a party that supports killing minorities and LGBTQ folks.
Feeling anger towards someone like that is normal.
Having to fight off an urge to assault them is not.
I get this, I do, but acting out in this way only hurts the plight of those who utilize violence in self-defense or in service of their community against this lot.
If you had hit him, it was clearly what he was hoping for.
Provocateurs, all of them.
Coincidentally I did see a dude sporting a MAGA hat this morning at my local coffee spot. Lotta eye rolls from the regulars but he wasn't actively doing anything to antagonize anyone.
Don't take the bait.

So you don't think supporting white supremacism is bad enough of a thing for someone to lose their cool over?
ask yourself OP: would being banned from your favorite Indian restaurant be worth it for the fleeting satisfaction of violence?
