Twitter can be numerous things: a roiling pile of distemper, and mob scene of ill-mannered trolls, or a bizarre reflection on a side of society few cares to see. It is special however when all of those appear in a thread of odd proportions over nothing consequential.
It all begins with a video. One account shot a video of their boyfriend driving past a convoy of Jeeps driving to some event. The boyfriend is going off on a prim rant about the vehicles.
please watch this video of my boyfriend complaining about jeeps pic.twitter.com/FlMJsKdilI

After a couple of days Twitter got wind of this posting. It led to a number of people commenting about the nature of the driver.
I say this with all the love and compassion in my heart: Your boyfriend is a 13 year old boy who thinks he's clever and edgy because he's cursing every third word, and he's doing this all in a grandpa sweater from the 80's. This is some seriously impotent ranting.

Ask him if stereotyping is wrong.

And on it went. What was telling though is that in the raft of replies none were of a direct political stance. Yet, as we have become all too familiar with by now, everything has to revert back to the White House, because as your boyfriend gets into a snit over cars driving by, and people note the curious nature of someone doing this, it ALL has to be the fault of one man.
hey uh im really mad that that jeep tweet has caught on with conservative twitter like can ppl stop telling me to leave my boyfriend just because he doesn’t like jeeps 🙁

Aw thank you this really made me feel better! Unfortunately it looks like Trump twitter got a hold of it :/

Sure, people mocking someone upset at a lineup of vehicles MUST be a sign of “conservative Twitter”. Even further afield, how this has anything to do with Trump is inexplicable. But then again, this is someone who begged people to watch the posted video of her boyfriend complaining about Jeeps, now getting upset that people watched the video of her boyfriend complaining about Jeeps.
Then if things are not obtuse enough, there was one other person who weighed in.
Your boyfriend is an ass who doesn't know WTF he's talking about. And from his douchey hipster hair & beard & the most boring clothes imaginable, I'd say he's the one utterly lacking in personality. Oh, FYI, a gathering of Jeeps like that only happens when they're going offroad. pic.twitter.com/hf8L6a91SP

That is the infamous Asylum Studios screenwriter, by the way. Because this has not become completely off the rails enough. It did not escape notice.

Because this is Twitter, and life in 2019 is a surreal fever-dream. It really is no more than that.
