One of my brothers-in-law gave my ultra-conservative dad a MAGA hat as a joke a couple years ago, and even though my dad doesn't wear it (thank God), he still loves it and kept it. But living in LA, just the fact that there's a MAGA hat in my family - 1500 miles away - still somehow fills me with embarrassment. Right or wrong, that episode was not an exaggeration in the least. I've never seen a MAGA hat in the wild out here, but if there ever was one, I can imagine the reactions wold probably be even be worse than they were last night.
