ROFL They are making him seem like the best candidate to me! The 'unemployed minors' is wild, it's as if the MAGA don't believe students are real. (to prevent future comments saying it's fake, I want to say that I don't actually believe this is real. I should've been clearer, to be honest).

Or i dunno lol like as in children? Also they slayed me at couches

Haha, yeah, the MAGA can only see them as future workers instead of mere children! Also, the couches bit really extorted a chuckle out of me. The meme about JD Vance (not based on fact) is certainly penetrating the political discussion. As JD Vance is weird enough to make it mildly believable.

Yeah, I mean it's clearly satire, but really only because of that one line. I don't think they were actually trying to fool anyone, but if they were, all they'd need to do is delete "unemployed" and I wouldn't have thought this was fake at all.

And "couches" obviously.

It is satire, yes, it was very Onion-y. It made all the 'quiet parts' which Republicans used to keep silence before...Loud and Clear. If they had simply kept "unemployed" but deleted the reference to couches, I would've actually believed this to be true. As Fox News is highly falsified news, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference from their normal denial of reality.
