What's the term, is it 'gaggle'?
A gaggle of terrorists.. idk it fits but doesn't sound quite right.
Well, let's see.
It's a gaggle of geese. Geese are major assholes, but I don't think they've ever gone so far as to try to overthrow the government. So, I don't think it should be gaggle.
Hmm...
Murder of crows
Kindness of ravens
I found this online, which suggests "explosion" for terrorists.
Explosion of terrorists.
I'd like to propose the following collective nouns
A group of Trump supporters:
Moron of Trump supporters
A group of insurrectionists:
Shitstain of insurrectionists
A covfefe of traitors.
Fun fact,.. if you try to type out Confefe it autocorrects to ‘Confederate’.
Proof: https://i.imgur.com/Z5KfsW1.jpg
That will depend on your OS, software and usage history.
Of course. I should have amended it to:
…In the OS Tromp was using when he ‘Confefe’d’, it autocorrects to ‘Confederate’ across the OS.
Even more so in the iOS version at the time. I’m not going to go back and emulate all that; ain’t nobody got time for that.
An Embarrassment of Trump supporters
It goes way beyond embarrassment.
/thread
One of them is an embarrassment, though.
A mortification of Trump supporters?
Definitely moving in the right direction! Perhaps... a Clusterfuck of Trump Supporters?
A suicide of terrorists.
This. I like this a lot. I'm stealing it and using it from now on. It's mine.
A Pride of Proud Boys
No. A Shame of Proud boys.
Cell. It's a terrorist cell.
That's if.they are working together. If they are just together I think the collective noun is a herd.
A Bungle of Terrorrists
I think the obvious answer in this case is a bigly of MAGAssholes
