No no red hat man isn’t racist, nor are the people who voted for red hat man, that’s why each day we have to explain why the latest things the red hat man’s people did and said while wearing the red hats, which might seem very racist indeed, actually aren’t.
The hats are for sale on the official website of the Republican president of the U.S., by the way.

That's how you get them.
So if you want one of those hats, what you do is, you go to the official site of the Republican Party.

That's their leader over on the right, by the way.
If you click that link, it takes you to the official store of that leader. Donald J Trump dot com.

You'll want to click the HATS link.

Soon this can be you!
A symbol becomes known by the words and deeds of those who display it.

When a symbol becomes known for racial hatred, it was selected for that purpose, but for it to gain the intended meaning, it must be earned.

Once upon a time, a bedsheet used to just be a bedsheet.
When a symbol successfully earns its meaning, you'll know, because suddenly those who might not adhere to that meaning abandon its use.

Sales of rainbow pins to Evangelicals are way down in recent decades, for example.
When a symbol earns an *intended* meaning, however, its adherents don't abandon it. Instead it becomes a badge of pride for those who created the meaning.

Which is how you can tell the hat was always meant for hate

Adopted for hate

Used for hate

MANUFACTURED for hate
So now we know something, when a person chooses to wear one, what else they've chosen to buy and wear.

About the leader who created the symbol, and the meaning he deliberately created.

About the political party selling it, and who they sold it to, and how they sold it, and why.
