The problem with that is that the post doesn’t actually show hypocrisy. those screenshots don’t prove at all that conservatives were using Grindr. I see this a lot, where people use really weak correlations or connections to call people what used to be a common playground insult.
And if they want to be showing hypocrisy, maybe they should show relevant criticisms of the gays? Like, something referencing how Charlie Kirk talked about stoning the gays. And at this point in time, open Republican gays exist, and Charlie Kirk talked about having gay friends, who presumably would show up to memorials.
So if the joke is about homophobes being lying hypocrites, maybe it should show that homophobia, the lies, and actual proof of hypocrisy. Because if it doesn’t, it’s just calling conservatives gay as an insult.
Sure, I guess I could concede that, but it’s still really reaching to use that as evidence. I think it’s clear motivated reasoning, they just wanted a reason to call conservatives gay,

Everyone already knows that conservatives are homophobic though so there’s no need to demonstrate it
