    Nina Turner was shut out of the 2016 Democratic National Convention. They set up a table outside for her faction with water bottles and a box of donuts. The donut emoji is the cockade of a faction of conservative Twitter liberals who celebrate this occasion.

    The move of providing a box of donuts as "consolation" apparently has a long history in the labor and civil rights struggles as being a "fuck you" gesture, and there is a good argument it is racist considering its history and who it was directed at. Perhaps someone else could fill in more.
