MAGA on social media confirm that the Trumpflakes are completely triggered by the march

JulieTheMainstreeter @juliemainstreeter.bsky.social · 6h

Actually I think Trump might be a pet hoarder. It’s called the GOP

And maga snowflakes are totally triggered in their online posts about the rallies on Facebook, etc

It is. I’ve never felt so distant from my sibs

ADOPT MORGAN! 🐶❤️

He's a tiny beagle with a huge heart. Recently rescued from an animal-testing lab, he’s now learning what love feels like — soft beds, sunshine, and cuddles. ☀️💕

He’s gentle, shy at first, and loves affection. Could you be his forever family? 🏡

He killed it with Heroin, one of the many old home remedies that he champions

He got the call from his billionaire buddy investors on the bat phone and he doubled his money

Naturally, the only prominent Republican to address the vile comments from the Young Republicans while refusing to condemn them was JD Vance.

But that’s only because Ron Desantis hasn’t weighed in yet.

Perhaps the least shocking revelation ever. Young Republicans' secret Telegram chat is full of them trying to out edgelord each other.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
