Me either
The only racial problems in this country are the fake ones the leftists keep stirring up. We were moving a great direction as a country just a few years ago, then someone let out the SJW Triggered Outrage Virus(SJWTOV) and turned half the country mad.
No actual cases of people in MAGA hats hurting or assaulting other people.
We were moving a great direction as a country just a few years ago, then Russia and a reality TV show host decided to take an interest in who would run our country.
Really?? This happened just last week. Notice the red hat?? While being led away, he's yelling "**** the media! **** the media!" At every single rally, Trump devotes some time to slamming the media present at the rally, who are usually in a caged in area separate from the rally goers. And, at every single rally, those attendees spend some time screaming at the media.
So, Trump has helped heighten the dislike the public has for the media. He has enhanced the belief that our free press is the enemy of the people. One needs be very dense between the ears not to recognize that this is nothing but Trump demonizing anybody who dares criticizes himself or his policies. What one would expect of any authoritarian.
And I can find other examples of people being attacked by folks wearing MAGA hats. But, reflective of just how much you really keep up with what is happening in your country, this incident was just last week:
You make it sound like the media has played no part in their being demonized. It’s no longer about getting the whole story. It’s become getting it out first and interjecting their opinion in everything. Present the facts and let the people decide. Don’t try to sway them one way or the other.
It’s become getting it out first
I don’t know, but it’s interesting that people are much, much more concerned about him possibly wearing blackface 30 years ago than about comments about how you could deliver a baby and let it die just a couple weeks ago.well this story has certainly pushed the Virginia governor's problems into the background...
or am I just in a Chicago media bubble?

Same. Must be fake news. Does MAGA even exist, or is it imaginary like unicorns and Eskimos?

Yes, getting it out first is "getting the scoop", and this is driven by two things, that I can think of. For a newspaper, it's the profit motive, it's about selling papers, or getting hits on their internet sites. And for the individual reporters, it's about a feather in their cap, enhancing their reputation, advancing their profile and career. This has been there from the very beginning. Competing papers, reflecting different political philosophies, supportive of different parties, fought it out in the early republic. Nothing new in that, it comes with the territory. My main complaint is the degree to which, particularly broadcast media, has focused too much on selling news as entertainment.

Wait a minute, is 1 person representative of a group or not? Isn't there a guy wearing a MAGA hat holding the other guy back? Is he the one that isn't representative of the group or is it the other guy?

Perhaps I could put it this way. Neither is representative of the majority, although I will extend full credit to the gentleman acting to restrain the attack. But, at any Trump rally, those who are most representative are those wearing MAGA hats, and yelling in unison by the hundreds, or thousands, "CNN sucks", as well as booing loudly, each time Trump points to the media, and directs his ire at the media covering his rally. I should think those members of the Cult of Trump, are likely most representative of MAGA supporters. That does not mean I expect they would each gladly conduct a physical attack on a representative of the media. But, like Trump himself, they attack one of the bedrock principles of our democracy, namely freedom of the press, which includes the freedom to criticise this president, or any president.
