    A broken clock & all that. Either this isn’t as bad as they said it is during the campaign (which is what Babylon Bee is getting at) or it IS as bad as they said it is, and they’re letting it happen anyways.

    Either way, they’re spineless fucking liars.

    So… they are criticizing her for not trying to overthrow democracy? Like trying to pull a coup would have been the only rational, non-hypocritical response here? What a worrying attitude

    I wish this was the right community to post this. Unfortunately, it more properly belongs in nottheonion

    First and only and it looks like Babylon staff didn’t even come up with the idea - at the bottom it suggests this was a reader submission.

    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.

        There was a political realignment after the civil war where the democrat and the republicans switched roles.

        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

    Actually that was a JD Vance quote. Harris kept it more classy.

    Either way, he’s more of a Mussolini type. Less vision, more opportunism.

    Biden is the one responsible for transferring power. Even right wing satire is full of ignorance. Not that there was ever any doubt.
