At a party in the nation’s capital last night, a group of Republican lawmakers dined on a cake shaped like Greenland and frosted with an American flag.These edgelord dorks who got elected to congress to further their social media careers have made being cartoonishly evil into the GOP's party brand.
The dessert — an apparent nod to President Donald Trump’s attempt to acquire the Arctic territory — was served up at the Kennedy Center during an event hosted by Republicans for National Renewal, a right-wing group that has pushed the president to seek an unconstitutional third term.
“Come over here, take a picture and cut the cake,” the host appears to say at one point, video footage shows, describing the elaborate dessert as the “51st state.”
As partygoers gathered around the Stars-and-Stripes-draped cake, one person could be heard saying “It’s gonna be an international incident,” while another questioned: “Is it like prom?”
This is government by /pol/ and Right Wing social media influencers.
The edginess is the point. Life is a shitpost. “Are you triggered, lib?” is the GOP motto.
“Is it like prom?” Jesus wept, these are fundamentally unserious people.
