Oh I dunno. I think if someone wore a red MAGA cap in London there's a fair chance some entitled outraged lefty (Likely waving a Hamas flag) would take offence. As a forum lefty, although not a far left one as many rightwingers here like to label me, I can assure you that if I saw somewone wearing a MAGA cap I would not react at all because there would be nothing to gain from it bar needless confrontation that could never change anything anyway. I would pretty much ignore him or her unless they were friendly towards me in some way in which case I would be friendly back. I would have noticed the cap but kept my thoughts on it to myself. Primarily I would have just thought, "what a twat"" Well that's nice to hear. But the fact that you're not a shouty outraged lefty does not mean there are no shouty outraged lefties out there. Lets be honest, there are plenty of examples these days. Btw, there was a demonstration outside the Home Office tonight against the Rwanda plan. Various organisations were represented, Care4Calais, BLM, and the Civil Service union, to name but three. I'm overjoyed to say less than a hundred people turned out. There were more police than demonstrators, the police didn't even close the road lol. |

Dear Forumers, I will wear a red MAGA baseball cap on a day trip to London soon, just to basically test what the reaction is. Because it always seems that so-called "Democrats" and Anti-Trumpers are always likely to be much more confrontational, aggressive, violent, intolerant, narrow-minded and bigoted people. If the weather is still warm then I will also wear a crop top, shorts, and trainers, nothing else. If some reactions to the MAGA cap are very hostile then I may use another type of MAGA in that case. Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art which I have had training in, in the past. Veronika Oleksychenko Get a Magi cap as well, and see if it makes any difference. |

Dear srb7677,
Thank you for your analysis. But I'm not Russian actually. I was born in Nizhny in Russia, but I mainly grew up in Uppsala in Sweden, my mother's home city. I'm half-Ukrainian, half-Swedish. I've been told I have a quite mixed-up accent, and I have lived in England since 2010 when I was 16. If people thought I was Russian and they became hostile as you say, then I have trained in the past in Krav Maga techniques.
