Trump Tuesday Wins Spark #IfTrumpWins Twitter Backlash

Tuesday night Donald Trump scored wins in primary states Michigan and Mississippi and as results came in, the hashtag #IfTrumpWins began trending on Twitter across the United States, putting on display ugly anti-Trump hate with unimaginative Hitler and KKK comparisons.

The #IfTrumpWins scenario hashtag seemed to take off from the account for a late night game show on Comedy Central that revived the previously used hashtag:

Time for your fave apocalypse scenario, let's play #IfTrumpWins! Let these examples inspire you to play!https://t.co/qYGtnOlwV3

And yet another:

And then there was a reference to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un:

Several tweets also hit on Trump’s border wall and suggested Canada would build a wall on the U.S. northern border.

Then came a reference to Trump’s suggestion to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States:

People are seriously uneducated, people think 99.99% of Muslims are bad but that's def not true, stop hating on Muslims #IfTrumpWins

Some chose to tweet about anatomy size and others made disparaging comments about Trump’s wife Melania.

Some Trump supporters jumped on the hashtag with comments supportive of the GOP frontrunner:
