Political movements don’t just argue.

They look a certain way.

They develop symbols.

Uniforms.

Visual cues that tell you who belongs — and who doesn’t.

Over time, those visuals start doing real political work. They signal identity, loyalty, even power — often faster and more effectively than words ever could.

The MAGA movement perfected this faster than most.

And it all started with something that was supposed to be harmless.

A baseball cap.
