To the next commenter who didn't read the article and thinks this is about red maga hats:

But knitted protest headwear has a new look in 2026, thanks to the popularity of a red "melt the ICE" hat pattern shared online by a yarn shop in the suburbs of Minneapolis.
...
The red tasselled hat, called a nisselue in Norwegian, was a symbol of patriotism and protest against Nazi occupation during the Second World War.

My comment literally mentions red (caps) hats in reference to MAGA because MAGA ruined red hats (caps). Ruining the positivity of the red hats in the article. Similar to the swastika, which symbolized peace, until the fucking nazis ruined that.
