There are two hats you can wear in the world, Red Hats or Yellow Hats. But that's in Buddhist Tibet up in the Himalayas (see below). Coming down from those heights, we're in a tiny part of America (a big continent) in a country that rules the world or in any case thinks that it does. And here it's MAGA ("Make America Great Again" baseball cap) against Pussyhat (pink knitted beanie). Choose your side. We all want a great America, but we don't need to dress like a trucker to say so. We want a pink, pussy-friendly country.
They should be illegal. Because I said so. I bigly don't like 'em. Makes me want to grab 'em. |

National Split by Hats: Tibet

Emergence as the Dominant School
The 14th Dalai Lama is a Yellow Hat ruler. |
By the end of the 16th century, following violent strife among the sects of Tibetan Buddhism, the Yellow Hats or Gelug school emerged as the dominant one over the Red Hats.
According to Tibetan historian Samten Karmay, Sonam Chophel (1595-1657), treasurer of Ganden Palace, was the prime architect of
the Gelug's rise to political power.

From the period of the 5th Dalai Lama
in the 17th century, the Dalai Lamas held political control over
central Tibet. The core leadership of this government was also referred
to as the Ganden Phodrang.

Scottish Botanist George Forrest, who witnessed the 1905 Tibetan Rebellion led by the Gelug lamas, wrote that the majority of the people in the Mekong valley in Yunnan were Tibetan.
According to his accounts, the Gelugpas were the dominant power in the
region, with their lamas effectively governing the area. Forrest said
they used "force and fraud" to "terrorise the...peasantry" [giving some credence to China's modern propaganda campaign that it helped average Tibetans by "liberating" them from serfdom under Vatican-style overlords in the Vajrayana Sangha, with the Dalai Lama ("Pope-King") emerging as a kind of authoritarian Trump figure].
