    The scariest part of this movement for me is being targeted because somebody thought I was conservative. *shudder*

      I’ve been getting this for the last few years because I look conservative. Sigh. Seems like it will soon get worse.

        I’m 6’3, 300 pounds, built like a linebacker. Shaved head. There aren’t a lot of clothes that look good on me and actually fit (finding a shirt long enough is hell). I tend to wear jeans and wife beater with an unbuttoned collared shirt in the summer, and flannel in the winter. I also tend to wear the shoes the podiatrist gives me (for now. So long medical insurance after 2025).

        I have 100 percent been confused for a skin head on numerous occasions. If I’m leaving Walmart after dark, women will rush to their cars if I have to pass close by. I don’t blame them. It sucks, but I’m glad they’re acting on their safety over my feelings. But it does still hurt my feelings. :/

          If you’re 300 lbs, there’s no way you’re built like a linebacker. 240 is about max for a linebacker. I’m 6’4 and 220. You’re either muscle bound or built like a lineman.

          I hear you friend. I’m 200 pounds 6’ even. I’m bald so I shave my head. On the funny side rarely people thank me for my service, or more often tell me I forgot my military discount.

          On the not so fun side it makes it difficult to buy drugs, and I love drugs.

            I would also suggest Duluth trading. It’s been my go to for a long time. Similar in quality to Carhartt but has more material options. Their dry on the fly line of stuff is 90% of what I wear.

                Yea I have the dry on the fly pants and shorts. I know the undies are supposed to be good but I’m 100% on exofficio.

        My father sometimes complains that he cant wear his red fishing hat anymore, because unless you pay close attention to the different design on the front, it looks like a maga hat.

          It’s just like the American flag.

          Anymore if I see someone have an abundance of American flags flying, or stickers/bumper stickers I don’t assume they’re patriotic I assume they’re a racist bigoted trump supporter.

          Damn racists stole the American flag the way they think gays stole the rainbow.

          The red hats that say “made you look” make me laugh, but I haven’t wanted to buy one because they look a little too convincing 😔

            No, thats the thing, he doesnt want people to think he’s a trump supporter, and hates that if he wears this old hat he used to really like people will think its a trump hat
