You have to understand that these people are clinging to anything they can use to identify others who are in their in-group. MAGA hats, diapers, and now ear coverings.

Cults do the same thing and for the same reason.

There was a movie in 2008, "the Wave" (German: die Welle) about a teacher who wants to show his class how easily it is to start fascism by just let everyone wear white shirts for school.

It's the symbolic items from the same tier or color to identify a group, which makes it dangerous.
