Because it’s a meme! Some journalist on Twitter posting about Grindr at the RNC and people running with it. People logging in when the RNC is in town to see if they can spot a closeted politician. It’s titillating, people sign up for Grindr because they’ve seen Hegseth’s tattoo so “they’d definitely recognise him even if he cropped out his head”. Add the trolls who get a kick out of pretending to be a closeted politician.
And I know it’s a meme because people sincerely believe that “so many people logged in that it crashed Grindr!” Like Grindr has a server in every city and you log into the closest server when you turn on Grindr. Complete nonsense.
There’s also bound to be gay staffers for republican politicians. Washington DC is the gayest place in the US. Let the staffers fuck in peace.
But…the outages actually happened? And they did coincide with locations where conservatives gathered (e.g. during the Charlie Kirk funeral/orgy in Arizona). You can literally look it up. On the outlet Pride, even, among others.

So you think Grindr can handle Pride all over the world but not Charlie Kirk’s funeral? How do think the internet works?
Is this what you are referring to? TheRealThelmaJohnson is your source? Do you also think everything on the Onion is real?
