After spending four years at Wooster, I have learned something: The real “snowflake” is middle-aged Trumpies. Nothing gets their panties in a twist faster than my sheer existence as a visibly queer college student. Going into Walmart, I’d see these racist divorced dads clutch their nonexistent pearls at my dyed hair and (obvious) pronouns. But, why? I don’t huff and puff when I see yet another red MAGA hat with a pair of eyes burning a hole into my forehead. I’m not wasting my time and energy yelling at them, yet these grown men seem to spend quite a lot of time driving down Beall Ave. to harass students and yell out slurs. We are all expected to not react, just let it roll off of our shoulders and continue about our day. For a devout Trump lover, a single mention of Charlie Kirk is enough to make them melt into a red-faced, bumbling mess. 

It’s quite funny, to be honest. Everyone knows how to upset a Trumpie and it is so damn easy. Back in the day, when the term “snowflake” was booming, videos like “SJWs OWNED PART 27” depicted feminists screaming and yelling at alt-right aggressors who then filmed the arguments for views. The terms “snowflake” and “social justice warrior” were both used to denote left-leaning ideology as hysterical and fragile. Now, in 2026, “hysterical” and “fragile” are the perfect words to describe Trump’s devout supporters. When do I get to see videos like “MAGA LOSER OWNED PART 67?”

People have referred to Donald Trump himself as a snowflake. It is very easy to upset Trump to the point where the crybaby will ramble on, just insulting interviewers if their questions are too challenging. For Trump, criticism is not anything he is willing to listen to and neither are his supporters. Just a hint of criticism is enough for Trump’s wrinkly face to scrunch even more and a spew of illogical hysterics to pour out. Then, the same hysterics are echoed by the Trumpies when an opposing person comes along. They are all so sensitive to anything remotely beyond their fascist bigotry that they will even jump at the chance to work themselves up over something so little as where people piss and shit. 

The biggest snowflake behavior has to be found in the bathroom bills. How are you so worried about who’s in the stall right next to you? You must be so sensitive and fragile. I do my business wherever I need to because everyone has to, so why do you care so much? These snowflake Trumpies need to grow a pair like me, a trans man with blue hair.
