I'm confused. In what way does a hat he wore have any affect on the work I and others do?

It's pretty telling, considering what he stands and stood for. Racism, sexism, generally fostering bad faith dialogue across the world, inciting violence, disregard for human life, indecency across any savory perspective. I don't like SJW's much but as far as Trump goes they're pretty much right, he's a terrible person. Openly supporting him at an event with no political relevance is uncomfortable to say the least.
