Members of rightwing base disorientated by cordial Oval Office meeting – but not all Trump supporters downcast
A flurry of social media posts from MAGA influencers have laid bare the disorientation felt by members of Trump’s base at the spectacle of Friday’s cordial Oval Office meeting with Mamdani, who the president previously painted as a “communist lunatic”.
“Wild to allow a jihadist communist to stand behind the president’s desk in the Oval Office. Sad to see,” wrote far-right activist Laura Loomer, one of Trump’s most fervent online backers.
She returned to the theme several times. “I had to drink a bottle of ginger ale today after seeing Mamdani in the Oval Office because it physically nauseates me seeing Islamic jihadists infiltrate our government and continue to get a pass to promote Islamic jihad and anti-American values with zero push back,” Loomer wrote.
“Quick, go to knowyourmeme and type in ‘360’ in the search bar so people don’t think I can’t tell angles”
Pulls out an obscure meme from 14 years ago and calls someone a boomer.
I can see that school system in the US suffered a lot. Like even if my wildest dreams I wouldn’t come up with as much shit as you just did. I am amazed.
And yes, the meme is old, I was there when it happened. However, I’m still a lot less of a boomer than people acting as if it is the first time on the internet.
Now shoo shoo. And don’t drink the leaded water.
Fine. I’ll be walking away. From you.
So… I need to turn… how many degrees?
