When a &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; hat enters the room, some people act as if they&#8217;re in a horror film, whimpering: &#8220;This is no dream. This is really happening&#8221;&#8212; to quote Rosemary&#8217;s Baby. The dreaded red cap has them so upset they&#8217;re firing off letters to parenting columns for advice on how to handle MAGA-wearing relatives.
The following exchange is from &#8220;Care and Feeding,&#8221; Slate&#8217;s <a href="https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/07/parenting-advice-about-maga-gear-bedtimes-and-playing-by-yourself.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">parenting advice column</a>. While the columnist tries to talk the distressed relative off the ledge with words of calm &#8212; just back away slowly &#8212; she isn&#8217;t too far from the edge herself. She talks about President Donald Trump supporters as if they&#8217;re mentally deranged cultists consumed by the dark side of the force. &#8220;Not only are you motivated by an objection to bad forces in the world,&#8221; she advises the terrified relative, &#8220;but you also have the chance to be motivated by a desire to keep someone you love from being a part of bad forces in the world.&#8221;
