OK, it’s Slate, and Slate’s gonna Slate. But who knew that Slate had a parenting advice column that was on hand to tackle tough questions like this one:
My niece wears her MAGA hat to family parties. What should I do? https://t.co/DGzBZpwcH3 pic.twitter.com/R7veYg2xol

We’re on it, thanks!
Everyone should know by now that if you need parenting advice, you should just ask Twitter. Check out these gems:

You mean you shouldn’t rip the hat off her head and throw a drink in her face? Interesting.
Send her to a reeducation camp, of course. Also, forcibly sterilize her parents. https://t.co/ZTR953Yt8t

1. Call them racist. People are complex. So reducing them to a single pejorative is much easier than understanding them.
2. Let them know that their political opinions make them a bad person. This will change their mind.
3. Blog that shit. Clickbait pays. https://t.co/cQ4q6k0Qr7— John Noonan (@noonanjo) July 12, 2018
You should learn to act like a grownup who doesn't have to ask how to react to a hat, then treat her with respect & kindness because she's your niece. https://t.co/I929PAGujO

…Not care? Is it really that hard or are you so full of yourself that your niece wearing a MAGA hat physically hurts you? https://t.co/k1QWvhyRYw
