    At first I was surprised this was coming from the Fascist friendly Bee, but then I read it and realized they’re trying to sound sarcastic, but making the correct point perfectly. This is fucking meta.

      It’s some real self-awarewolf shit. I guess the difference is that what they’re trying to say is that she said he’s a tyrannical despot, but apparently he’s not because she’s just fine with handing him power, but I read it as he is indeed a tyrannical despot, but she’s doing the Democrat thing of following the rules even though Republicans will do no such thing, ensuring the demise of freedom in the US.

      It’s like some kind of reverse Poe’s law, when the sarcasm of the outrageous minded is indistinguishable from a sane opinion.

      Also Godwin’s law.

        This whole thing is cracking me up. I can imagine them writing all sorts of articles like “Democrats want ALL people to have access to basic needs like food, shelter, education, and health care.” Then MAGAts reading that just laughing their heads off while the rest of us are just stuck wondering where the joke is.

        We wanted it to “be funny later” during his first term.

        It wasn’t.

      Reality got so bad that satire can only state fact.

        There was a political realignment after the civil war where the democrat and the republicans switched roles.

        Now there’s a factual realignment, where reality and satire switch which one is absurd and which one is correct when taken at face value
