The Best (And Worst) Angry Reactions To Obama’s Re-Election
Whew, thank God this one’s over. Or is it? As should be common knowledge by now, Obama soundly won yesterday’s presidential election and the rest of the world was finally able to exhale. But to many freedom loving, socialism fearing, freeloader loathing Repubs, the battle — or revolution if you’re Donald Trump — has only just begun. From the hilariously histrionic to the depressingly daft, here are some of the best and worst election reactions the web has to offer.
Tuesday night on Twitter: Canada, Australia, Pure Incompetence
The great and terrible thing about Twitter is that it doesn’t really require too much critical thinking to gain a following. Add to that some livid, fast-thumbing conservatives who think that the recipe for their post-election repair is to leave Obama’s “socialist” nation for one with socialized healthcare and you’ve got some rich reading material.
And a witty retort:
Perhaps worse was the Riot by the Pasty University of Mississippi Students, blocking traffic and burning Obama signs until the Police had to stop their Mob Action.
I know it’s the interwebz and fact checking is too old school for bloggers, but still… I’m just a lay nobody and detect at least 3 parody accounts up above in your montage of outrageous right wing tweets. There are enough genuine creepy, racist, wingnutty celebs and pundits out there. Stop shooting yourselves in the foot.
