They are so thirsty every convention nukes Grindr into the ground. Republicans are turning into raisins in a desert of their own design.

TLDW;
Basically it’s not actually a thing, a meme account tweeted about it crashing Twitter that said the owner called it the gay Super Bowl, it really caught on.
The owners of Grindr basically agreed with that and then from there it has stayed in the public conscious.
It’s not entirely false either, as there is a correlation of increase with republican events. It’s difficult to discenrn and at the very least it’s never actually crashed the app.its also just funny to say because republicans are largely homophobic.
Edited: a misspelling
Mostly I'm surprised to hear that anyone thought this was literally true and not just a fun exaggeration of the trend for Republican politicians to be heavy users of these apps while traveling
Great watch.
I’m going to have a hell of a time trying to find this video in six months with just keywords.
Save it to a private playlist? 🤷🏻
Good video
wat wat did I miss
Republican news outlets seem to be reporting a lot on him (Apparently it's Fox News' new favorite topic, getting even more coverage than trans people) and this is what the post is referencing:
It’s nothing short of hilarious that someone tried to blur the underpants. Are the magats jealous? Thirsty? I mean, guys not my thing but I sure as hell would want a tummy like that too.
Probably just because it's from Instagram, I searched for it on TikTok first and that post put a black box over it 😭
No, the RNC blurred it.
Japanese underwear. don't want to get the crowd too stimulated.
Yummy
I can't tell if he's done some light anabolics to get that ripped. It's borderline.
Would take a hell of a lot of work in any case.
Doesn’t look like there are any signs of anabolic, nor is his physique egregious
I think you are right, zooming in, it looks natural.
He's still shredded as fuck though. As in he must have focused muscles specifically for the aesthetics?
I was mistaken it's an all natural build I'm pretty sure, yeah that's why I wondered because the abs were so developed but looking closer it's all natural I am almost positive.
Yes, he works out like an hour every morning and has for years. He's also very strict with what he eats
Oh and thanks for the info!

The usual MAGA pose for their secret Grindr profile:
Why is she so hot
Money, professional makeup, you want what you can't have, etc.
Counter point, I have seen plenty of cute girls without makeup or money. Though the last point is still true.
that makeup looks like a fucking allergic reaction
You mean "he", right ? :-)
What
I assume you're talking about Carpenter and yopyop is talking about Piker
Correct. I thought that would be obvious considering how hot he is.
I don't know who he is, I don't know who she is, I don't know why his meat would be on the jumbotron.
I don't know why his meat would be on the jumbotron.
There's a lot of secretly gay Republicans
Also, Grindr apparently crashed from too much traffic in Dallas, where the Republican National Convention is this week
Watch Day Drinking with Seth Meyers episode with her. I might be in love.
Why are Republicans so gay?
Because they get laughed out of our bars
I for one am looking at him with fresh, new, thirsty eyes...
(insert squidward "oh no he''s hot" gif)
context?
They posted a thirst trap of Hasan Piker in his underwear on the jumbotron at the RNC thinking they would shame him, it did not. 
If I looked like that, I'd be begging people to post that pic on a jumbotron
Dawg I came to lemmy so that I don't have to learn about usa politics but ig there is escape right.
