If you’ve ever wondered how on earth all these people are continuing to support Donald Trump in spite of all the cruel, corrupt, and downright stupid things he does and says, I’ve got an answer for you — it’s because they’re all as cruel, corrupt, and downright stupid as he is.
Last night, world-renowned singer Jennifer Lopez, whose parents are from Puerto Rico, absolutely dropped jaws during the Super Bowl halftime show when she sang the 1984 Bruce Springsteen hit, Born In The USA, with her daughter Emme, while gloriously and proudly wearing the Puerto Rican flag. Shortly after the hit song, dancers removed the flag and continued to hold it up as Lopez performed another song with Shakira.
JLo holding up the Puerto Rico flag just makes my heart happy with everything that the island is going through 😭😭 #PepsiHalftime pic.twitter.com/dGxBToVjzn

For the most part, Lopez and Shakira both received heaps of praise from social media users before they’d even gotten the chance to wrap up their monumental performance, marking the first time in history that two Latinas headlined the Super Bowl halftime show.
Latinx trifecta! What a half time!! #shakira #jlo #demiLovato pic.twitter.com/IWRVDWwhpN

I’m so embarrassed to say I missed all of the symbolism/political statements as well. Props to JLo & Shakira for entertaining & educating us at the same time. Great #SuperBowlHalftimeShow! https://t.co/5YBc3cdWKt

Shakira in her 40s and JLO in her 50s, still rocking. Their energy and performance are unmatchable.#SuperBowlHalftimeShow pic.twitter.com/d1cQ4kuy2G

As we all expected, because we now live in a world where racism is a thing to be proud of as our “president” has essentially made a game out of how many brown people he can fit in one cage, there were, unfortunately, more than a few racist ass comments to spew out of Trump supporters’ mouths over the fact that J-Lo displayed the flag of Puerto Rico during her performance rather than the American flag as many MAGAs would have preferred — nevermind the fact that Puerto Rico is literally a U.S. territory, I guess.
Glorified Puerto Rican flag clad strippers parading around in r-rated halftime show at USA’s biggest TV even. Who exactly was this performance for? Not people who love America. I’m glad the demise of our country is worth reaching your target demo, which is obviously changing. https://t.co/rYraRNL4dR

Oh fantastic the halftime show is not even in English

The Half Time show is underwhelming and slightly racist, but at least I have shelter. I need to get water through customs and an extra side of garlic sauce. #superbowlhalftimeShow #FyreFestival #papajohns #maroon5 pic.twitter.com/ZoSmC0TmdY

Frankly, that part wasn’t all that surprising. Disgusting and nausea-inducing, absolutely. But not really surprising. However, my eyeballs did do that weird crooked thing they do when something is too stupid for my brain to comprehend without doing the old AOL loading sound upon discovering that more than a few of Trump’s loyal supporters didn’t seem to understand that it was the Puerto Rican flag at all — the dimwits thought it belonged to Texas.
No. I’m not kidding. This was literally a thing. See for yourself:
Why does she have the Texas flag? #SuperBowl

Yup…it was a Texas flag 🙄🤦🇵🇷#PepsiHalftime #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLIV #SuperBowlHalftimeShow #JLoSuperBowl pic.twitter.com/p7RasfpT0K

So proud of the Texas flag held by JLO during the Super Bowl!! Texas strong!
— CEO of simping (@yeye_wtw) February 3, 2020
To say the very least, that got schooled. Quickly.
Some of y’all are not putting your Betsey DeVos school voucher to good use because this is NOT the Texas Flag. 🤦🏾♀️#Superbowl #SuperBowlHalftimeShow https://t.co/5pKwLqyoUj

When you have to explain to white ppl why J Lo is wearing a Puerto Rican flag – and that’s it’s not a Texas flag – and that J Balvin is not Pitbull or Pitbull’s little brother… *sigh* #SuperBowl

Things tonight that reaffirmed the American education system is crap: 1)Americans can’t recognize the Texas flag, nor can it be expected that they know what the Puerto Rican flag looks like. 2)The guy in the WH doesn’t know which state the Super Bowl winner is from. 🤦♀️#Murica
— Sapphireswell (@sapphireswell) February 3, 2020
I thought I couldn’t have less faith in the American educational system. Then I saw people thinking the Puerto Rican flag at the Superbowl halftime show, TAKING PLACE IN MIAMI, WAS THE TEXAS FLAG.

I really have to wonder if it hurts to be this stupid. Is it painful?
