Unsurprisingly, conservatives are losing their minds over the NFL's pre-Super Bowl festivities that included a rendition of the Black national anthem for the third consecutive year. The song, Lift Every Voice and Sing, was a hymn written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. Sheryl Lee Ralph, the star of the comedy series "Abbott Elementary," offered a powerful rendition of the song.

But if you're a Trump supporter, the song isn't fair. The Super Bowl is in Arizona, so they probably won't accept the game's outcome anyway.

Controversial Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert called it wokeness.

Kari Lake is mad, y'all. Is this the white people's version of taking the knee?

Calm down there, little feller.

I thought this was a parody account at first. It's not.

Bless his heart.

Poor Kevin:(

Mmmm...MAGA tears!

He's mad!

Lord, help me not to punch anyone in the throat today. Amen.

Die mad, you salty bitch:

Is there anything that Black people can have or do that won't upset Trump supporters? We're not even allowed to teach African American history because it hurts their feels.

Can you help us out?
