A Texas bakery caught hard MAGA feelings for daring to attack President Donald Trump and calling MAGA “a cult.”
The New York Post reports backlash kicked off after a July 3 Facebook post declaring the owners were “not wanting to celebrate the 4th this year [and] embarrassed, afraid, and disappointed” in what the United States has become. They also called the MAGA movement “a cult” and denounced the Trump administration.
“MAGA is adversarial,” Flower Mound-based Hive Bakery wrote. “It’s a cult of unintelligent, rabid, immoral sycophants. Those conservatives who still have rational thought have left the MAGA movement. Those who remain and continue to support the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history, are here, wishing for our bakery to burn to the ground. Enjoy a little taste of this Americana.”
The New York Post reports owners concluded their post saying: “We are open tomorrow from 10-6 as we refuse to observe this holiday.”
“F—— this fa$ci$t regime and every single person perpetuating the downfall of our country,” they said. “Still holding out hope for an AOC revolution.”
Owners say MAGA bushwhacked them online, and they re-circulated the vicious responses.
“Hope your place burns to the ground.” said one critic, according to the bakery.
Another commenter said, “With a post like this, I will never patronize your business, and I will make sure to let my friends and family know your thoughts as well. If you’re that embarrassed, pack your s—— and leave. You won’t be missed. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.”
Still another heckler adopted a toned-down approach, writing: “I will celebrate this amazing country because it is still a great place to live. Instead of everyone being so negative, try some kindness. I always say, no one is stopping you from leaving and finding a better place to live.”
But other online commenters jumped behind the owners and their opinions, with one writing, “… tempted to get in the car and drive 12 hours for some Hive goodies …”, according to the bakery.
“Lol … I just said to my husband where’s Hive bakery, let’s go support them … then I saw they are all the way in Texas,” said another. “That’s way more than 12 hours for me… but go Hive Bakery I stand with you!”
The NYPost reports the owners are largely unaffected by the negative comments, having posted July 4th photos from the bakery showing iced cookies decorated with an upside-down American flag and the words: “UNDER DURESS” in icing letters.
