Texas bakery reports customer surge after viral post slamming MAGA

A Texas bakery is attracting national attention — and apparently a wave of new customers — after a viral post in which its owner expressed embarrassment about the state of the country.

Hive Bakery in Flower Mound posted on its Facebook page that it was "not wanting to celebrate the 4th this year" on July 3, stating that "we're embarrassed, afraid, and disappointed in what this country has become."

"MAGA is adversarial," the post added, saying it would remain open on the holiday. "Those conservatives who still have rational thought have left the MAGA movement. Those who remain and continue to support the most corrupt administration in our nation's history are here, wishing for our bakery to burn to the ground."

The bakery said it had sold out of "Distress Sugar Cookies," which featured an upside-down American flag with the words "Under Distress."

Pasties and savories are a swell way to help pass a hot summer evening.

and with all the kooks down there, I seriously worry about his welfare, saying/ doing something like this

Displaying first amendment rights in Texas, like in all Red States, is reserved for MAGAots ONLY, and can be hazardous to one's health and business..............

I've been seeing their posts on Instagram. The bakery is standing tall and has sold out of all of their merch.

Looks like they make insanely delicious treats!
