And if you see an. American tourist in a maga hat, break their fucking legs!

How dare you. That's so unfair. They'll just get treated cheaply and efficiently at your hospitals, paid for by your taxes.

If there's a way to cause injury that won't fully manifest until after they've returned to the US, that'd be better. A trivial medical treatment in Europe is worth a second mortgage in the United States.

Thats why you hide raw meat in a dish that won't kill worms / parasites and give it to them, especially meats that are known to have parasites that stay in the body undetected and multiply before causing isses

Bonus points if you marinate the raw meat in forest floor dirt for the day

That'd be really expensive in american healthcare

i don’t think that’s how it works… as an australian we have reciprocal care in some european countries, but not all. i can’t imagine the US would have any reciprocal health agreements, and thus you or insurance would have to pay

Would a tourist wear a maga hat in Europe? I guess some would, but I've never seen any.

I've not personally witnessed it but I've heard that they sometimes do.

Give 'em some time, it's just the new version of the cowboy hat. They don't need to wear those in Europe either, but it never stopped them.

I was in Paris circa 01, Out on the street there's a 5' tall overweight cowboy, Hat, boots, button down flannel, his wife next to him in a 1980's Sunday dress. He was loudly complaining that no one there spoke english and how it was the language of the world. Then went on at great length to explain how everyone in the country was stupid.

Most people on the street certainly spoke enough English sufficiently to understand him, they were likely using it as a barrier to keep him at arms length.
