You buy a hat you like.

You put the hat on and wear it out of the store. Your friends say they like the hat. Your enemies say they hate the hat (and still you too of course). Your enemies are wearing a different hat, a dunce cap, that they swear makes yours look stupid.

Your enemies are asshole bullies, so they push buttons on a bunch of sheep people who were trying to decide for themselves. The sheep people believe they don't like your hat and that they like the dunce cap. In their own minds, they feel they came to their own opinion. It just happened to occur right after being briefly afraid not to have that opinion.

and when it doesn't, I'll take it off. Pretty easy to understand.

I wear no hat unconditionally, and if it doesn't suit my tastes, I'll criticize the hat and take it off.

I will not take it off, I apologize for nothing. And yes, I look damn good in it.

I get the sense that "take the hat off" would be the wrong answer.

I don't wear hats, so I can't take my hat off. I refuse to apologize for a hat I'm not wearing. I look just fine hatless.
