The purpose of the pro-Trump, pro-conspiracy theory page was to organize national protests to claim the election was stolen from President Donald Trump. However, Gizmodo reports that Friday morning, one Stop the Steal page--with at least 64,000 members--had been rebranded as Gay Communists for Socialism. 64,000 members who had gone to bed Thursday night believing nothing would change in Trump's America woke up to a country in which everyone has to share. Perhaps group members can be comforted that President Donald Trump has often expressed his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
