Very clearly fake. Come on lemmy, don't turn into reddit, please.
There definitely was a @UltraMAGALady account on xitter that was deleted within the last 24h, but because it was deleted I’m not able to verify this specific post. It does seem very likely that it was real, though.
Questions would be:
Was this a sincere account or satire?
Even if sincere, did that post actually exist?
It just seems a bit too much to believe someone would admit it is just for the lulz at making liberals upset. Maybe they admit to it being a bonus but to say it is the point.. Particularly in a scenario where that admission very explicitly amounts to a self own...
Given the account existed and was deleted - ostensibly after going viral - we can surmise that it was not satire. We can also make an educated guess that the post did exist since the account was deleted after going viral.
For the last part, if you don’t personally have thousands of firsthand experiential anecdotes of encountering people exactly like that, I genuinely envy you and your hygge bubble. A staggering number of American Republicans make “owning the libs” their whole personality. This is a natural, inevitable outcome of ur-fascism’s enemy creation propaganda pipeline.
