Do Not Insult the King

Trump supporters want you to stop criticizing the president*—even if you're criticizing someone else.

The Washington Post brings us an American tale of sorrow and woe. National Public Radio did a nice thing, and cutely, too. Apres vous, le derp.

Perhaps it was the Founding Fathers' capitalization of random words or the sentence fragments into which some of the Declaration's most recognizable lines were broken.

Alert: irony zone ahead. LOL!

But plenty of Twitter users reacted angrily to the thread, accusing NPR of spamming them — or, worse, trying to push an agenda. "Seriously, this is the dumbest idea I have ever seen on twitter," a Twitter user named Darren Mills said after NPR had only gotten as far as the Declaration's dateline. "Literally no one is going to read 5000 tweets about this trash ."

The economic anxiety that elected the current president* continues to take some amazing forms.

Trump Fans Lost Their Minds Over NPR's 'Biased' Tweetstorm...of The Declaration of Independence

Somehow, the president's supporters are now defending a British king.
