    Satire isn’t always pure fiction. Sometimes it’s just reiterating a stupid point to highlight how ridiculous it is. Satire doesn’t mean “fake” and the success of the joke is not dependant on whether or not people are making those same arguments themselves. In fact, a lot of the best satire assumes the headline you’re putting forward is mocking genuine but daft arguments.
