    Coming from Canada. Fuck that. Not everything has to do with the USA.

    It’s MAGA lettering, not the the red hat.

      As an European, it’s a comic strip about the east coast, west coast and Midwest. The Midwestern is white and has a red hat, and midwestern white Americans are predominantly republican.

      Not everything is about America but it’s a pretty obvious extrapolation my dude.

        As stated, a red arm band means nothing unless it has. Swastika on it. A red hat without maga labeling, means jack shit.

          You’re not being targeted with this comic specifically.

          They are however very obviously making a joke I think makes you uncomfortable

      Hey fellow Canadian, if we see a Canadian flag being flown by a regular citizen we now have to wonder if they’re some convoy-supporting dipshit McFuckface.

      Red hats weren’t all that common before and with MAGA lettering they aren’t all that common now. Choosing to use a red hat while knowing what they symbolize, especially as that country rapidly descends into collapse because of everything that stupid thing sybolizes, is gunna be taken as meaning something specific whether you want it to or not. Especially when it’s the only bright colour in the comic and placed on the character who looks like a stereotype of the person who would wear it.

      You’re not being clever, you’re being deliberately obtuse.

    • Oh, I think you’ll find the US can cause plenty of problems for Canada. You even developed your own MAGA there for a moment, and your government is fighting it’s own struggle with far-right conservatives. You think you didn’t catch that disease from us?

        Okay?

        You realize red arm bands are still used? It’s only when it’s a swastika that it becomes political.

        Same for a red hat.

        I don’t know what any of that has to do with the conversation. But no fuck off, a red hat symbolizes nothing, just like a red arm band signifies nothing.

        Requires the political message, but bloviate about, whatever that garbage was.
