BREAKING NEWS – Chicago, Illinois – A mother sent a letter to the popular Ask Amy advice column seeing if she should press her conservative brother for cash after he was forbidden from his liberal niece’s wedding. Twitter mocked the request with one user responding, “Yup. That’s a progressive gen z for you. By the way, they want you to pay off their loans too.”
“Four months before my daughter’s wedding, she told me that her uncle (my brother, “Dave”) would make her feel unsafe if he was a guest. She asked me not to invite him,” a mother wrote to the advice columnist. “My daughter is very politically progressive, as are many of her friends, and although she and Dave have always had a good relationship (I thought), he is a conservative voter and has supported candidates we all abhor.”
In response to all of the criticism, the liberal niece explained her position in a tweet. “I don’t believe in capitalism,” she explained. “But since my uncle is a conservative that does believe in capitalism, I felt he could spare the funds.”
