The first and only good babylonbee article
So… they are criticizing her for not trying to overthrow democracy? Like trying to pull a coup would have been the only rational, non-hypocritical response here? What a worrying attitude
I wish this was the right community to post this. Unfortunately, it more properly belongs in nottheonion
First and only and it looks like Babylon staff didn’t even come up with the idea - at the bottom it suggests this was a reader submission.
That joke title is going to age like the Weimar Republic xD
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.
This is mind blowing and I really hope it’s just funny later. I really really do.
We wanted it to “be funny later” during his first term.
It wasn’t.
He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice
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
Actually that was a JD Vance quote. Harris kept it more classy.
Either way, he’s more of a Mussolini type. Less vision, more opportunism.
Let’s hope he remains a Mussolini type to his dying day.
Specifically on that one day. I hope he is bedridden until then
Fascism through ✨ V I B E S ✨
You joke, but vibes where and are an important part of how fascists took control. They understand that Aristotle was wrong, emotion and symbolism is simply a better form of rhetoric than logic.
Well, it depends what you mean by “better.”
Rhetoric is just Greek for the means of persuasion.
A more effective means of persuasion is better rhetoric by definition, because determining truth is not the goal, getting them to do what you want is.
But, yes, ideally rhetoric and epistemology would go hand in hand.
I’ve finally met someone more pedantic than I.
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.
Biden is the one responsible for transferring power. Even right wing satire is full of ignorance. Not that there was ever any doubt.
It was her concession speech though.
Someone already wrote that article: Biden vows ‘peaceful and orderly transition;’ says election system ‘fair’ and ‘transparent’.
