Florida bro-flakes. Angry, loud, entitled and convinced they're victims

They have taken over the state’s ecosphere.

Florida is home to a number of invasive species, including lionfish and Burmese pythons. But few creatures seem to be proliferating in more annoying fashion these days than the Florida bro-flake.

You may not be familiar with the term, but you definitely know the type — guys, mostly white, who are loud, entitled and aggressive, yet who also get infuriated when anyone challenges them.

Bro-flakes are convinced they’re victims. So they get enraged when anyone offers facts that contradict their narrative of self-pity. They want history books censored and all talk of racial disparity silenced — unless it’s their talk about how white guys have it rougher than anyone else.

They’re angry snowflakes … so bro-flakes.

The native habitat for bro-flakes used to be places like Twitter/X where these folks would think they were being insightful by posting quips like: “Well, why isn’t there a WHITE History Month?” (Questions for which they could find answers if they spent five seconds on Google.)

But in recent years, the bro-flakes have taken over Florida’s political ecosphere. We’ve seen a steady march as the governor and Republican-led Legislature have attempted to whitewash history books and censor workplace discussions that might challenge the bro-flakes’ fragile sensibilities.

Not "Snowflakes", "Bro-flakes." I like it.
