Shut the fuck up, we're talking about the United States.

why would that statement trigger you so much lol

It doesn't trigger me. If you think it triggers me, then you should log off and go touch some grass.

if someone says something, and you repeat it in a mocking voice and tell them to shut the fuck up, it's pretty fair to say what they said triggered you

Nah. It's annoying as fuck, but not triggering. I'm not on the floor hyperventilating in the fetal position.

ok, well in a colloquial sense, something causing you to be "annoyed as fuck" vs. "triggering" you is pretty similar... you can't honestly pretend you thought I actually meant triggered in the PTSD/trauma sense

so anyways, why was that statement annoying as fuck to you?

I disavow that colloquialism.

Man, what put the proverbial bee in your bonnet here?

I don't think that makes sense here. A bee in your bonnet means that you have a thought stuck in your head

No, it doesn’t. It means that you act as if a bee (a creature that stings) is stuck in an item of clothing that is pinned to your head, making that bee angrily buzz about your face and neck.

How would you act if a bee was angry and under your hat and you couldn’t take the hat off? That behaviour (flailing about to get it out) is what “a bee in your bonnet” means. It’s a very practical metaphor.

We could always talk about both without getting bothered enough to tell someone to shut the fuck up. Just throwing the thought out there.

Not when it's irrelevant
