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 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.
Unfortunately, democrats don't really want that. What Bernie stated yesterday is correct, they have turned their backs to the working class
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
We're ALL fucked, and it won't be nice.
It's some real self-awarewolf shit.
Reality got so bad that satire can only state fact.
There was a political realignment after the civil war where the democrat and the republican parties switched roles as liberals and conservatives.
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
Fuck.
People using "literally" to mean "figuratively" really was only the beginning?
90s me would be sadly satisfied with how shit's going right now. Like, everyone prefers to be right, but sometimes the Schadenfreude isn't worth the squeeze.
literally has literally never been used literally
