    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.
