There’s this little thing called a “ratio” on social media: you post something stupid, and rather than seeing your followers flock to support it, the bulk of the responses turn out negative.
Well, Ellen DeGeneres just messed around and found out.
The famous comedienne posted some boilerplate LGBT agitprop Tuesday on her Instagram. It features a picture of what appears to be a young boy in drag queen style make-up with the words, “you can’t tell someone you love them and then vote for someone who will hurt them” written on his cheek.

The message is obviously a pot shot at Donald Trump, despite having no basis in reality. It’s meant to pull on the heart strings of conservative-leaning voters who, of course, still love their gay children and grandchildren. Ellen’s fans and followers, however, didn’t fall for her emotional terrorism. (RELATED: Vance’s Baby Blues May Have Just Flipped The Left’s Most Loyal Demo)
“I’m gay and I’m voting for Trump. Do I hate myself absolutely not. Messages like these are what spreads hate,” reads the top comment on the post, racking up over 33,000 likes as of Wednesday morning.
“As a lesbian. I had more under Trump. He’s got my vote,” reads another top comment with over 7,000 likes.
“Lesbian for trump right here baby,” another woman agreed.
You can scroll and scroll and still not find a comment in support of Ellen’s unhinged position. As one commenter rightly noted, “Vote Trump seems to be the reoccurring theme here.”
Of course, Trump’s never done or said anything to “harm” gay Americans. He’s a New York City celebrity businessman, after all, who’s probably had more interaction with the gay community over the decades than most politicians in Washington. He was the first president to come into office openly supporting gay marriage; even Barack Obama can’t make that claim.
In fact, Trump reminded us yesterday why he’s the real candidate for Gay America.

“Where’s Gays for Trump?” Trump asked the crowd at a campaign event Tuesday, while a group off camera cheered in response.
“You don’t look gay,” Trump responded playfully, as the crowd erupted in laughter.
Trump thinks about gay Americans like he does any other American: They’re just normal people. Being gay doesn’t mean you have to be a left-wing lunatic, fear mongering with divisive tactics like Ellen or normalizing the weird fetish rituals that Democrats cheer on during Pride Month. You can simply look and act like everyone else and vote on your interests rather than identity.
It’s a good sign that, if these commenters are anything to go by, that gay Americans are starting to realize this as well.
