MAGA folks online are actually celebrating the loss by the U.S. women’s soccer team to Sweden.

It’s not America they love and want to “make great” again, folks.

@georgetakei
I assume this has something to do (in part) with (their mistaken belief) Sweden "proved" #Covid vaccinations were not necessary (and came out stronger as a result?) Or do they think there are no lesbians on the Swedish soccer team?

After months of massive deaths & a pandemic raging out of control, #Sweden finally wised up & started #vaccinating everyone.

If anyone needed an example of how PAINFULLY misinformed #Conservatives / #Trumpsters actually are, this is a prime example. đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž

@MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei Sweden vaccinated everyone as soon as vaccine was available. Most people took the shots.

@MugsysRapSheet @georgetakei I live here and know a bit about what happened here. Not everything was perfect, but generally speaking we managed pretty good, and kept the society functioning.
@kallekn @georgetakei
"Not everything was perfect" is an interesting way to spin a 5% increase in mortality rates compared to neighboring Norway. đŸ€”
