(182,273 posts)8. For the "perception is reality" crowd the MAGA hat is a nightmare
The Parkland murderer - MAGA hat
The bomb mailer living in a van - MAGA hat.
They've done a really good job at pushing those stories down or at least blurring them a bit.
Then the Covington boys - MAGA hats galore. They had to come out viscously fighting this. The optics were just too bad. Still that image for all but the full blown believers is etched forever. For all the talk about "the old days" and "pull your damn pants up" etc. the young punk being so clearly disrespectful to an old man was horrible for them. The spin machine and how effective it's been with their followers is chilling to witness but they've had control over their masses for quite a while.

Yes. Since the 1970s. They've been building this since the Powell Memo came out.
