Pulitzer Prize finalist author Rebecca Makkai set off a Twitter storm the other day. Turns out red caps trigger her because God forbid it could say MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
A simple red cap causes her heart to do some “weird sh*t.”
It’s a HAT. It’s an inanimate object that cannot literally hurt you.
I honestly do not know where to start with this. Then she has the nerve to compare the MAGA hat to the swastika. The swastika symbolizes divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, especially in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Of course, the Nazis changed all of that. In the western world, it symbolizes oppression, terror, and the murder of over 6 million Jews and millions more of those viewed as “undesirables” by the Nazis.
Makkai noted that Hindus do not display the swastika “because it would offend/frighten people.”
If a freaking red cap or MAGA cap frightens you then you need to seek help.
I am not the only one who thinks this way.
I hope she doesn’t watch this video!
