See to me, it just sounds like politician says dumb provocative shit. That’s what they do. I thought “wow what an asshole.” I didn’t sit there thinking it was funny or going “ wow this has to be fake, right?”
Yeah but they’ve got a point. US politics are practically all satire these days anyway and seeing it in every community has to be tiring even for Americans? I want to see a NotTheOnion article where the punchline isn’t a metaphorical punch in the face
Satire written in a way you for a moment doubt if it’s true or not. Lately it’s a wave of ‘Trump or some republican senator did something lame or terrible’ and ‘Trump voter had his face eaten by leopards’. Normal would be a post like this once or twice a day, I get the sentiment but it’s just too much and the bar is getting lower and lower if you ask me.
That’s not really what the sub is about though. It’s not about satire. It is about things that seem like they would be satire but are in fact real. There is a lot of republican politicians on here because they fit the brief pretty well.
Yes obv I know this is not the union, didn’t really make that clear '-.- and republicans do bonkers shit, also obvious but I liked this community a lot better before Trump became president again.
This community is basically only political posts these days. I will comment and downvote until this community turns back to normal.
Thanks for keeping us all updated!
I mean, “we are all going to die” definitely qualifies in my book.

This exactly. 90% of the content should be in a community called notnormalpolitcs or funnythingsamericanpoliticiansdonowadays
The Onion posts mostly political articles, so…

I liked a lot of things better before Trump became president again.
You can choose not to fuck with politics, but politics will fuck with you regardless.
