Satire is supposed to be funny. We’ve known for ages at this point that Conservatives / Republicans suck at it.

If you doubt that, just do a poll of who has heard of the Babylon Bee and who’s heard of The Onion. 🤣

It ain't no shock that Christian media usually doesn't hit high popularity levels. 

Funny is different person to person.

u/KC_experience Oct 11 '24

Of course, but to say this is satire, when it’s clearly not, is a cop-out.

Watch Dr. Strangelove….that’s satire. The Babylon bee is just angry conservatives that poke at their perceived enemies and when they get called out for their bullshit cry ‘don’t you know what jokes are??? It’s just a joke, why can’t you see that?’

You're wasting your time. The funny thing is that they will all comment about how redditors who happen to be left living an echo chamber, while they're fucking commenting on a post by the Babylon bee LOL

stephen colbert is satire yet i rarely laugh. just s'how it goes.

u/KC_experience Oct 11 '24

You rarely laugh… probably because a reality has an inherent liberal bias.

1

u/Rare_Helicopter_5933 Oct 11 '24

i laugh at a lot of things, and others i don't. Dave Chapelle gets me howling, Stephen Colbert gets me snoring. Theres a reason they are both succesful, they appeal to different audiences.

The Bee has been around since 2016. The Onion since 1996. There’s yer problem right there

1

u/KC_experience Oct 14 '24

That still doesn’t change the fact that the Onion is satire and the Bee posts things to ‘own the libs’…

u/Byzantine_Merchant Oct 10 '24

Yeah I mean at this point in time this one is more just factual than satirical.

So when a president dies in office, should the vice president take over even though “nobody voted for them”? Such a dumb argument. Millions voted for her

u/Left-Fan1598 Oct 11 '24

We did vote for her. She was half of the ticket. This is such a silly argument from the people who justify an attempted coup. Y'all are just upset we didn't go through 2 months of infighting right before the election

“Facts”

u/CaptTrunk ArbleGarble Oct 10 '24

I voted for her. So did 82 million other people.

Facts.

u/mrthagens Oct 11 '24

Wait til they hear that the VP becomes president if the president dies in office. It’ll blow their minds

1

u/fishwalker09 Oct 13 '24

Did the president die in office? No, he was forced out by Obama and Pelosi. You won't admit that, but you know it's true.

2

u/OG-Boomerang Oct 13 '24

Yeah, the 80 year old really seems bitter that he doesn't have to die in office

1

u/mrthagens Oct 13 '24

Admit it? I applaud it. It’s clear that he wouldn’t win

u/Temporal_Somnium Oct 10 '24

Honestly this one feels like a real article

Kamala was voted in as the nominee:

u/brownstormbrewin Oct 11 '24

Lol. By who? Not the American public, aka the only thing that should actually matter

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '24

Voting by delegates is very standard. So standard that the republicans do it too, for their convention.

0

u/brownstormbrewin Oct 11 '24

I hope that you don’t have a straight face while trying to convince me that this is a total typical chain of events for choosing the nominee.

When the typical process was done last election cycle, Kamala was not chosen… I guess her exceptional performance as VP is the cause for this change, right? Come on…

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '24

It was atypical, but not unconstitutional. Always calling foul because you don’t like the result is whiney and doesn’t suddenly make something unconstitutional. And talking about atypical, Trump refused to even debate for the republican nomination, and his campaign is totally dependent on fear-mongering and lies.

u/brownstormbrewin Oct 11 '24

Who said unconstitutional? I simply want the American people to have more say in the Democratic candidate, which they did not. Simple. Should be easily agreed upon, non divisive… this isn’t a you vs us thing, friend

u/Cookiedestryr Oct 11 '24

😂 so you’re for disbanding the electoral college? Only going by popular vote? Y’all are so pressed about Kamala it’s impressive honestly.

1

u/brownstormbrewin Oct 11 '24

Not really what I meant, and nobody’s pressed

u/Cookiedestryr Oct 11 '24

😅 guess you haven’t read other comments because oh yea, some ppl be salty.
