A Texas bakery is facing widespread backlash after publishing a message ahead of Independence Day criticizing “what the United States has become.”
“We expressed not wanting to celebrate the 4th this year, as we’re embarrassed, afraid, and disappointed in what this country has become,” the company wrote on Facebook.
“MAGA is adversarial,” the bakery continued. “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.” It condemned what it called a “fascist regime” and those who perpetuate the “downfall of our country.”
“Still holding out hope for an AOC revolution,” the bakery declared.
Backlash was rampant, as one comment read, “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.”
Another declared, in part, “You won’t be missed.”
Some comments were supportive of the bakery, with one social media user saying they were “tempted to get in the car and drive 12 hours for some Hive goodies.”
In a follow-up post, the bakery thanked its supporters for “driving from all over DFW to support us. We’re so grateful to have found such an amazing community of like minded people who believe in us, what we say, who we are, and what we do.”
