Tried an experiment
We tried an experiment. I asked my son to wear a Trump 2024 T-shirt to see how he gets treated. He's been slapped twice, spit on 4 times and hit on the head with a beer bottle. Next step, we're going to send him outside and see how strangers react.
Child abuse is not something I would joke about or in which I could seek humor.
A number of times over the past 8 years or so I've worn at running events a plain red hat
(my hairstyle is a very wide part down the middle) and several different running at event shirts. Other than one comment about the shirt artwork (see below, the lady on the left), no reactions. People do not hate Trump to the degree DU-Denizens hope/believe, nowhere close!

The event with the
Octopus of Love T-shirt is run in mid-February, and uses a trail that follows the shoreline of SF Bay. The organizer has been using the
Octopus of Love artwork, with minor variations, since 2015.
