Would have been funny without the red hat. Not all us mid-western’s are MAGAs.
You know, red hats existed before MAGA. See: https://www.redhat.com/
You associating the hat in the comic with MAGA is a you problem.
Nothing in the comic is political - there’s no reason to bring politics into every conversation.
The issue, of course, is that appropriation is a real thing and change common and popular perception is symbolism. Red baseball caps have been appropriated by MAGA, and aggressively used to symbolize support for a particular cult.
We’re humans, dude. Everything we do in communication is symbolism, with subtext, connotations, and implications. Red baseball caps symbolize MAGA now to most people in the USA, whether you like it or not.
Difference is that you can wear a non-maga red hat without being considered a trumpet, but you can’t be rocking a swastika without people assuming you’re a nazi

You know, the swastika existed long before Nazis; see https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/卍#Translingual . You associating it with Nazis is a you problem.

I had a “super cool” red hat hat, it was of course their trademarked red.
MAGA ruined that for me.

The conversation has now come full circle, with the top comment being about assuming the guy in the red hat was MAGA because of the red baseball cap.
East coast west coast rivalry isn’t politics?
In the same vein as Sharks vs Jets in a dance battle.
But isn’t that the joke? East side guy and west side guy are stereotyping Midwest guy and then he brings up Motown.
Or maybe I don’t get the joke.
No I’m pretty sure that’s exactly the joke
Idk if you told me this comic preceded MAGA I’d believe it.
