Itβs an attempt to poke fun at a red state for being so into Grindr, a gay hookup app, though it does fall a bit short since this could be a DDOS attack, or even if not, people often forget that even in red states, cities tend to be progressive strongholds.
Edit: my bad, completely forgot the RNC convention in Milwaukee lol
Simpler than that. The Republican National Convention is happening in Milwaukee right now.
Also, Wisconsin is not a red state.
@MiserableConstruct the Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee this week, and the post is noting that Grindr is experiencing outages due to heavy traffic in Milwaukee. It is poking fun at the RNC convention, and their proclivities despite protestations, rather than the state of Wisconsin.
