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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Specifically on that one day. I hope he is bedridden until then

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

She literally said this though.

“I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

No, Trump has to write and submit an ethics statement promising peaceful transition of power.

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.
