      The Republican National Committee is meeting in Milwaukee this week, so there are an abundance of Republicans visiting from all over the country.

      It’s an attempt to poke fun at a red state for being so into Grindr, a gay hookup app, though it does fall a bit short since this could be a DDOS attack, or even if not, people often forget that even in red states, cities tend to be progressive strongholds.

      Edit: my bad, completely forgot the RNC convention in Milwaukee lol

        Simpler than that. The Republican National Convention is happening in Milwaukee right now.

        @MiserableConstruct the Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee this week, and the post is noting that Grindr is experiencing outages due to heavy traffic in Milwaukee. It is poking fun at the RNC convention, and their proclivities despite protestations, rather than the state of Wisconsin.

    A lot of morally upstanding conservatives doing their duty finding wayward souls and helping them “pray the gay away”. I mean, what else could it be?

    Even from a German POV this is funny because the former Secretary of Health, Jens Spahn, is attending this convention and he’s openly gay (don’t ask me how gays can cope with Republican policies, but Spahn even is connected to DeSantis).
