The term "minority" can apply in many different ways, with a various levels of consequence. Marginalized communities including POC and the LGTBQIA+ have suffered far greater consequences than the conservative minority in the WordPress community.

Conservatives in WordPress do not feel the effects of being a minority in the WP community in their daily lives the way marginalized communities do. Regardless of politics, the compassionate thing to do is respect the party who is harmed the most. Not wearing a hat to an event is a very simple thing to do and doesn't hurt any one in any way.

Honestly, I would also argue that most people who wear MAGA hats today know that it's controversial and emotionally charged, and do it for the specific purpose of confrontation and/or disrespect.
