Here’s the thing, we’re not going back to pre-2016. There’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tube when in this case the “toothpaste” is a fascist and white nationalist movement trying to send me to a death camp and, also, is well-represented in Congress.
Acknowledging that, there are two facts to keep in mind.
- These no-goodniks wear red hats
- The team we all love and tolerate also wears red hats
As peaceable Reds fans, we have no choice but to tell the Reds to stop wearing red hats. It’s not that Castellini, et al will listen to us, but it’s that we as fans have an obligation to put the right kind of pressure on a family that gave a ton of money to the party of separatism and denial and hamfisted coups d’etat.
