Snowflakes

63red Safe [is]a new app from a guy named Scott Wallace, a self-described lifelong Republican from Oklahoma. It’s a sort of Yelp for conservatives, with crowd-sourced reviews telling them where they can safely dine, shop or get a haircut without being harassed or hearing the Dear Leader ridiculed.

A safe place for Trump lovers.

Wallace got the idea one day when he thought about buying a hat, but didn’t. It was one of those spiffy red numbers, stitched in white with the words, “Make America Great Again.” A number of Republican officials had been heckled for showing their faces in public, and as Wallace recently told The Washington Post, he wasn’t sure it was safe to openly declare himself a Trump supporter.

So maybe have a little sympathy for the LGBTQ community, snowflakes.

His app which, at this writing, has apparently crashed because of a traffic spike after being featured on The Daily Beast, Fox “News” and elsewhere, is part of a family of conservative-themed products, including a news aggregator and a message board. 63red Safe, which The Daily Beast calls a kind of “Green Book” for red-state voters, asks reviewers to rate businesses by answering a series of questions, including: “Does this business serve persons of every political belief?” and “Will this business protect its customers if they are attacked for political reasons?”

How will you know that unless there's an incident?

That’s not clear.

How will 63red Safe foil mischievous liberals who sign up to create havoc? Also not clear.

Shockingly for a Trump voter, Wallace may not have thought this thing through.

Yeah, shocking.

Nor is the ideological segregation he promotes anything new.

Years ago, someone marketed a conservative ice cream — because who knows what those hippies at Ben & Jerry’s are putting into the Chubby Hubby?

Then there’s Conservapedia, which counters the left-wing slant of Wikipedia by telling us, for instance, that Barack Obama was “reportedly” born in Hawaii.

Wikipedia has a left wing slant? Learn something new every day. What I suspect happened here is that conservatives who wanted to report that Obama was born in Hawaii weren't allowed to get away with it on Wikipedia.

Nor can we forget that attempt to translate a conservative Bible so that Christians would no longer have to put up with all that welcoming the stranger and helping the poor you find in the King James Version.

I missed that one.

And some singles now seek soul mates on DonaldDaters.com, apparently having discovered that grabbing prospective partners by the pudenda actually doesn’t work as well as you’d think.

Haha.

63red Safe, then, represents only the latest effort to create a safe space for conservatives who find themselves triggered by, well … reality and its liberal bias. Like its predecessors, it’s likely doomed to failure or irrelevance. But if conservatives really want to find a place of their own, a place where they will not have to hear people malign the Dear Leader on a daily basis, it’s theoretically possible, but it won’t be easy.

First step, build a space ship.

Please.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
