    I didn’t even register this as satire until I opened the article. The headline is just too believable.

    Can always forgive a little witchcraft as long as the witch hates the gays, too. “One of the good ones.”

    She has grit, plain and simple, like a certain big fella I know. Hint: his initials are J.C

    James Cameron?

    I had one crazy aunt who went to HP book burnings back in the day. She wasn’t even anything that weird, just regular Catholic. Dunno what made her think she needed to do it because the rest of the family is also Catholic and they weren’t doing it.

        Catholics got some extra crazy somewhere around 2000-2008, I can’t pinpoint when it happened, but the community changed somewhere around that time. Like there was normal conservative Catholic, and then suddenly I noticed that Evangelical type start to join up. I’m no longer practicing now and consider myself agnostic.

          They were preparing for the rapture of 2012. Must have been quite akward the following Sunday at church when everbody showed up.

            I read an interesting take on 2012, which the Mayans or some ancient civilization also predicted. That the end of the world would be slow, and take years. It’s not going to be instant. I think it’s happening now, this cursed timeline that we’re all in.

      I read it as hp love craft and pictured her in the 40s burning books. Everyone was dressed like in the godfather.

    I know this is from “the hard times” But I don’t know if it counts as satire when I literally know people like this -_-

    “It’s witchcraft, but it’s anti-woke witchcraft, which we can get behind,”

    Sounds like, someone’s livin’ in the past, man.

    But this is how we get the witchcraft in… Finally! Prepare to call off the woke movement and we’ll unveil the anti-wole curtain to reveal witchcraft to all the children! They’ll be running around-checks notes… using magic or supernatural powers to inflict harm or misfortune on other!s And-… transgress social norms by engaging in cannibalism, incest and open nudity!

    Muahahaha

        Hmm… I guess so. As long as we keep the cannibalism, incest, and open nudity.

    Why can’t the title of the article just say the word we’re all thinking: hypocrites

    Politics aside, the quality of this satire is about as bad as something the political right could have scrambled together

      I have no idea what the quality of their other articles is like but, as I read it, I found myself wondering if it was so over-the-top because prior drafts had been too believable. The title and even first paragraph of the article seem totally plausible. I didn’t think anything of it until I got to the line about anti-woke witchcraft.
