Conservative Twitter’s Fantasy League Drafts Perfect Culture War Shooting

Some people fantasize about winning the lottery. Others daydream about quitting their job and moving to a cabin in the woods. Conservative Twitter personalities, however, are busy praying to the algorithm for the day a trans person commits a mass shooting in the “perfect” setting: a Catholic school, during Mass, in front of Fox News cameras.

In what they describe as “the Super Bowl of culture war talking points,” pundits imagine logging on to their feeds and finally getting the content they crave. “Do you know how many retweets I could farm from that?” one anonymous influencer was overheard saying, eyes glazed, hands trembling over the caps-lock key. “I’d finally be verified again!”

Experts note that fewer than one-tenth of one percent of mass shooters are transgender, but such pesky math doesn’t fit the dream. In this imagined scenario, Twitter conservatives get everything they’ve ever wanted: a headline tailor-made to fuel 72 consecutive hours of rage-tweeting, Fox News segments, and GoFundMe grifts.

Critics point out that this reveals less about actual crime statistics and more about how certain pundits treat tragedy like fantasy football. “They’re basically rooting for the worst-case scenario just so they can say ‘gotcha,’” one analyst said. “It’s like if meteorologists were secretly hoping for hurricanes because it gives them better ratings.”

Until then, the outrage machine keeps refreshing, stuck with the uncomfortable reality: most shooters are cisgender men, and the dream remains just that — a dream. Somewhere in a basement studio, a conservative influencer sighs, wipes Cheeto dust off their keyboard, and tweets, “The left is hiding the truth!”

Climate Change—Now Causing Bullets to Fly

Twitter (or X , if you’re into midlife crises for social media platforms) has finally cracked the case of America’s mass shooting epidemic. Forget guns, forget mental health, forget decades of policy gridlock. The true culprit? Thermometers. According to one very serious thread with 28,000 likes and three graphs made in Microsoft Paint, the number of mass shootings rises with the temperature. “As the Earth gets hotter,” the poster explained, “so does the barrel of an AR-15. And when that barrel heats up, freedom just starts firing itself.” The theory is elegant in its simplicity: Cold weather = mittens. Hard to reload in mittens. Hot weather = sweaty rage. Nothing says “Second Amendment rights” like a 102-degree heat index. Global warming = global shooting. It’s science. Commenters were quick to add supporting evidence: “I wore a hoodie in December and didn’t feel like shooting anyone. Coincidence? I think not.” “Ever notice school shootings dip during winter break?

PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES DECREE: "IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD, IT'S DEMOCRATICALLY MANIPULATED BULLSHIT"

Washington, D.C. — In a bold display of leadership reminiscent of only the finest banana republics, President Donald J. Trump today issued a sweeping presidential decree officially outlawing all statistics, reports, charts, tweets, TikToks, frowns, and bad vibes that fail to glorify his presidency. The decree, titled “The Truth and Nothing But the Trump” , follows the abrupt firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Director after last Friday’s jobs report showed a slight uptick in unemployment—a number that "smelled like Soros," according to Trump. “Folks, I looked at that report, and it just screamed ‘deep state’” Trump told reporters from the golf cart he now uses as his official motorcade. “That kind of anti-Trump math has no place in America. We’re deporting it.” When asked if he meant deporting people or just numbers , White House Press Secretary Tucker Carlson (now holding dual roles as Press Secretary and National Archivist) clarified: “Any operative—statisti...

MAGA Ostriches: Trump’s Flock Perfect the Art of Sand-Diving

  In the latest zoological discovery, scientists have confirmed that MAGA supporters and their leader Donald J. Trump share a striking similarity with ostriches: whenever confronted with uncomfortable facts, they immediately bury their heads in the sand. The key difference, experts note, is that ostriches eventually come up for air, while MAGA voters are still waiting for Hillary’s emails to be released by WikiLeaks. At a rally in Florida, Trump proudly declared, “Ostriches are very smart, very strong birds. People don’t know this, but they’re saying ‘Sir, you’re just like an ostrich, you see fake news and you bury, bury, bury.’ And I do it better than anyone. Tremendous bird, really classy.” The Ostrich Strategy When confronted with reports that contradict their worldview—such as unemployment numbers, climate science, or Trump’s golf scores—MAGA ostriches engage in a synchronized head-burying maneuver. Within seconds, they retreat underground, emerging only when Newsmax or OAN con...
