NYT columnist Jamelle Bouie

this is totally unscientific but i swear, those harris-walz camo hats genuinely made it socially acceptable for a certain kind of dude to rep the campaign

    This shit just makes me think of early episodes of the Trillbillies where they'd talk about "y'all stars"

    While it is blatant theft, claiming ownership of Chevy Orange text on a camo hat is a little silly.

      Chevy Orange text

      Do they use that in ads? I never watch/see ads so a lot of pop culture stuff is a mystery to me.

        It's a very old and iconic hallmark of the company. The Chapell Roan hat is a super clever juxtaposition of traditional Americana and queer identity, but it's more of a reference than a novel creation.

            That typo genuinely had me confused for a second, lmao. Chevy Orange is one of those creations of the American car industry like the Mustang logo that are a little too powerful and will have to be purged after the rev.

              My mind is on vacation today. I made a howler of a mistake a couple hours ago and sadly it wasn't a comment - it was an email. If only I could erase it. Oh, well. You live and you suffer. What can you do?

    i think that they went with duck-dynasty-light as part of their conversion into diet republicans.

    Yeah, those rallies have actually been pulling in the stereotypical looking dudes that would wear such a hat. It was pretty jarring to see in person.

    I remember when John Kerry did the same hunting photo op nonsense shit that Walz did, almost the exact same point in time 20 years ago

    They didn't make hats though...these morons really are trying to make themselves irrelevant by becoming actively repugnant to their current base while also still remaining unattractive to their desired base.
