Joe Brennan wears his MAGA hat to every tournament, knowing it irritates people. It’s a combination of obnoxious virtue signaling and bush league psyop. It’s a pretty open secret that everyone that isn’t actively his friend despises him
So there's a MtG player named Joe Brennan, who decided to wear his MAGA hat to a tournament. Now, for those of you who don't know, MtG is a game that panders to the kind of people who think that orcs are a racist stereotype of black people and the term, “tribal” is offensive. Naturally, his decision was not received well, and inspired one of the funnier Twitter rants I've seen in a while, from a Magic tournament judge, no less. Some of the highlights include:
Having shared a space with him as both a player and a judge, I've never witnessed him behave in a confrontational way. That's what he's going for, of course. “I'm just a regular guy with different opinions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you crazy leftists need to calm down”
“Yeah, he doesn't confront anyone, but he's just trying to make me look crazy!” 
I've also gone out of my way to never have any direct interaction with him. Because I know nothing good will come of it. Doesn't do much good to get DQ'd or fired from event staff.
“If I interact with him, I will sperg out and get myself fired!” 
I will say this: frick Joe Brennan, frick everything he stands for, and frick his little MAGA hat stunt. I firmly believe that if you willingly identify as a Republican in the current day, you cannot be a good person.
This once again proves a red hat is one of the most powerful tool to cause seethe even to this day 
MAGA represents:
- “White Lives Matter” aka Black Lives Don't Matter
- letting immigrants rot in open air prison cells
- direct, targeted, hateful oppression of trans people
- denying women equal rights
- antivax conspiracy BS
- oh yeah, insurrection!
Darn, when did Trump worship become so cool? 
The comments under this rant are also quite unhinged. A number of people start a witch hunt for some well liked MtG player who invited Joe to a dinner with a bunch of people, because you know what they say about 40 people at a table with one nazi…
Also, someone makes an accusation that Joe was at January 6th, but this could also be someone making a joke.
There's also a /r/freemagic post about this, but it's pretty much all just dunking on the guy tweeting the rant:

Anyway, assuming Joe keeps this up, I'm sure there will be plenty more seethe coming his way. Maybe Wizards will have to make an official statement on it. That would be funny.

Didn't the judge program recently get canned? If this guy was representative of their judges, it seems like they got what they fricking deserve.

I honestly thought this was a bait post until I read his profile. This guy is seriously unhinged.

Trust me, the entirety of Magic: the Gathering Twitter is exactly like this. One of the most popular MtG content creators is a communist strag who unironically uses it/its pronouns.

When I owned a shop the only person I ever had to ban was a L2 mtg judge.

Story time? L2s seem to be the worst generally, except for the one who used to run my lgs, but he got dragged online for dqing an annoying butt hearthstone player at a pptq.

He was just a raging c*nt that would tantrum Everytime he lost, and try and lord it over everyone. He made every FNM he attended fricking miserable. He also spent very little money in store. Banning him was great.

Basically anyone can be an L1 as long as you aren't
so you get people who like hanging out with friends playing getting qualified so they can have official events with friends, but to get to L2 you've got to be the kind of joyless tryhard that people not only don't invite to parties, but actively exclude from them.

My awakening to the foid menace was in high school playing at one of my first pre-releases (Magic Origins I think). I made the mistake of telling the foid I was up against in the loser bracket (who was like 10-15 years older than me) that I drew for my turn too early. She made a scene and called a judge on me and I had to skip my turn or some shit
So yeah, I hate MTG judges and I'm glad members of this esteemed site do too

Hope you learned a lesson about telling a woman the truth

True, I took it as more of a lesson that foids of any age will obsess over minor details, will freak out about completely trivial things, and will feel absolutely no shame while doing so
