Canadian professor prefers "stylish" Nazi uniforms to MAGA hats

Matthew Sears, a professor in the department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of New Brunswick, recently posted a tweet noting that the Nazi uniform was not the same as the MAGA hat.

Why? Presumably because the Nazi uniform was designed by Hugo Boss and was therefore “stylish.”

Ok, fine: the MAGA hat isn't like a Nazi uniform. Nazi uniforms, after all, were pretty stylish.

I suppose the hate towards Republicans runs so deep in Professor Sears that he would make light-hearted jokes about the army that aided in the extermination of 6 million Jews.

I would venture that they were not as impressed by Sears’ preferred style.

Don't get the "joke" comment wrong, however: I really do think the MAGA hat is deliberately racist and meant to intimidate immigrants and other minorities, which, I suppose, is why Ontario Proud got so wound up when I made fun of it.

Whatever one might think of Donald Trump and MAGA fashion, many Jews currently support the American president, who recently moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and is perhaps the most pro-Israel president in modern times.

This kind of ignorant comment is perhaps why twice as many Twitter users choose to enjoy Dr. Madeline Seers, Ph.D., an account parodying Professor Sears.

I recommend you do the same.
