A hashtag campaign to bring together conservatives sparked backlash from Twitter's more liberal users. 

Conservatives apparently feel it's really hard for their voices to be heard--despite majorities in the House and Senate. Or the wall-to-wall television coverage. Or a presidential candidate whose campaign is frequently compared to "a garbage fire."

Because of all this imaginary silence surrounding conservatives, Future Female Leader, or @FFL_of_America on Twitter, started the hashtag #ConservativeBecause. The hashtag gave plenty of conservatives the chance to explain exactly why they're seeing red, and it became a trending topic in no time.

Of course, the trend came with the help of the liberal side of Twitter, with satire, sarcasm, and shade.
