The first and only good babylonbee article

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

We wanted it to “be funny later” during his first term.

It wasn’t.

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.

The Babylon Bee is unfunny right wing trash, but the Democrats walked right into this one. You can’t tell us Trump is a threat to democracy and then peacefully transfer power to him.

Refusing to peacefully transfer power would be the end of democracy.

Tell me, what happened the last time Trump was told to peacefully transfer power?

If you believe trump intends to end democracy, then democracy is already over regardless of if you peacefully transfer power or not.

The truth is liberals have always been the path to fascism. After the death of the US no liberal nor fascist should ever be allowed near power again.

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.

You joke, but vibes where and are an important part of how fascists took control. They understand that Aristotle was wrong, emotion and symbolism is simply a better form of rhetoric than logic.

I hate Babylon Bee, but a broken clock & all that.

Either this situation isn’t as bad as they said it would be during the campaign (which is what Babylon Bee is implying) or it IS as bad as they said it is, and they’re letting it happen anyways.

Either way, they’re spineless fucking liars.

Theres two main reasons not to stop it from happening:

  1. It would make the DNC as bad as the GOP

  2. The people don’t really deserve more help, tbh.

For point 2: What about people who voted for Harris and who will definitely be persecuted under republican domestic policy? What about people in other countries who will suffer and die from republican foreign policy? What about everyone on the planet who will suffer even more from climate change due to republican environmental policy?

THE PEOPLE. All of them. THE MAJORITY OF EVERYONE. They chose as a country, as one whole. Imagine if that was you up there and they chose that old piece of dogshit over you, would you be in a generous mood to lay down your life for them?

Libs before the election: Trump is a fascist! He must be stopped! He’ll destroy our democracy!

Libs after the election: Congrats to Trump! We’ll be meeting soon to discuss the peaceful exchange of powers and our broadly overlapping interests.
