No, but its not like folks who wear that hat don't bring out the worst in some folks.

It did make me uncomfortable, I felt somewhat disrespected being put in an awkward situation by someone I consider a friend, rather than an adversary.

Curious: Not saying you would, but...
Do you think he should have felt uncomfortable or disrespected if, at some point, you had shown up with a "Me Too" pin or button? Or a "Feel the Bern" shirt or hat?

Why should he think a "me too" logo offensive?
We have discussed Bernie, he knows I didn't support his candidacy.
Otherwise, I wouldn't put him in a defensive posture in spite of his tendency to get some of his misinformation from purveyors of conspiracy nonsense, i.e, birtherism, etc.

For the same reason the MAGA hat makes you uncomfortable?
You have your opinions, he has his. Why is that a cause of discomfort?
You may like your steak rare and he may like his well done. What difference does it really make?
If you enjoy each other's company, do just that.

I've noticed that the red states don't like red steak. Funny thing.

Afaik, he wouldn't have problems with "me too" , why should he if he isn't a sexual predator? I do not see sexual predation as a partisan issue, do you, and why if so?

Those buttons don't represent bigotry, racism and white nationalism, dimwit.

Why do I get the feeling Whell would be totally comfortable walking around with a swastika tattoo exposed? At least among his friends (assuming he has any; certainly has none here).
