It’s dangerous to wear a MAGA hat in liberal cities like Portland, Maine. Remember when the left appealed for tolerance of their views on social and political issues? Well, many have become most intolerant of conservatives — sometimes violently, as I personally learned at Portland’s “First Friday Art Walk” last week.

A quick online search reveals several instances over the past two years in which people were physically assaulted for wearing MAGA hats — including a Manhattan man who had his face smashed in last week, but the incident was ignored by mainstream media. With all this in mind, I put on a MAGA hat and walked down Portland’s Congress Street during its monthly “First Friday Art Walk” event.

Good for you for standing up for the first amendment. Can you imagine what would happen if someone knocked off the hat of an Obama supporter? These anti-Trumpers are living in 1984, trying to stop any speech they don't agree with. They are opposite of good Americans.

sounds like you went there looking for trouble. Just like the members of the Westboro Baptist church that look to get assaulted so that they can sue.

Maybe if your president wasn’t a racist vile pos your hat would have been more accepted. By wearing that hat you are a racist. Sicko.
