    I don’t know how many times I’ve seen “red hat”, “magat”, “trumpist”, etc… as a pejorative. I’m no fan of right wing policy or Trump’s cult of personality, but let’s be honest, leftists and progressives deride their supporters just as much as their leaders. The racist uncle trope and face eating leopard party are perfect examples of a permission structure for infighting instead of fighting the real enemies of the working class. I have fallen victim to this mentality myself, but we have to face our own faults clear eyed and with humility. It’s not both sides, but the whole spectrum of the working class that has been deceived.
