Most Twitter threads consist of people supporting or not supporting the original tweet. Many of them are very funny, some are deadly serious, some are angry, some are sad. It’s a cornucopia of the human emotional spectrum! But every so often, a Twitter thread comes along that employs humor, justice, and the human spirit.
A small corner of the internet in a Twitter thread—one that took place as the election results began to unfold and the enormity of Donald Trump’s loss became clearer and clearer to MAGA types across the internet—brought people from all over the world (and possibly the galaxy) together. An account mostly known for following both American and European rules football and that also likes trolling libs posted: “Oooohhhh NOOOOO. WHAT ARE WE DOING. WAKE UP Y’ALL!!!! TRUMP IS HERE TO SAVE US. My heart can’t take this any longer. I’m leaving. I’ll be headed to Mexico. They will take care of me. Thanks for nothing USA. IM DONE. MY HEART HURTS. THESE KIDS!!!!” The fun began there.
Someone began by replying that they were in Mexico and did not want him, passing him over to Canada. That person passed him on to the U.K., the U.K. passed him over to the Middle East, and so on and so forth, traveling out into the galaxy until finally ending up traveling through time.
Enjoy.
Was he kidding? Yes and no. It’s hard to say if he was parroting MAGA types and their whining as his account seems to have something like a libertarian feeling of someone who doesn’t like Trump, but eases his own discomfort by making the generalization that both Democrats and Republicans are identical, while courageously saying anything approaching an opinion on his part is a joke.
But maybe he’s in on the joke! (Not likely, but maybe.)
