We agree. It's fake but entertaining. Some of the language is slightly too obvious, even for Trumpists.
I feel like they intentionally fucked with the kerning on the font in his name to give the illusion that it looks Cyrillic.
"UNSUPERVISED FEMALE HEALTH DECISIONS" bruh, it's like, tell me you hate women without saying you hate women 🤦♂️
Stop it, stop it. I already like the guy. Geez. But really, great joke.
Unsupervised female health decisions? Is this a real thing you would see on the television in the USA?
If it had been real, they would have chosen different phrasing, but mean the same thing.
Its sad that we are at least two who would legitimately not know if this is a meme/joke or irl in the US...
Edit: seems like we're more than two..!
I thought it might be real until I got to the taxes on couches.
Still sad that its this far down the list and that the rest could have been true
Couches. If it’s a couch, it’s probably parody.
Remember, trump has said they’re not talking about couches.
Edit: For the record though, look for the “what a monster” interview. I can't seem to find the original clip
Still scary that its only one word from being almost impossible to tell from parody
Pretty much. Yes. Terrifying.
This isn't weird at all, lol 😝🔨
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, is this a tankee???
Not to totally shit on everyone's parade (because this is going to get hate from everyone probably), but not that far off. The term tankie was used as an insult to leftists who defended communist dictatorship's use of tanks to attack (and kill) protesters. Walz did deploy the national guard to attack protesters during the George Floyd protests. Not a tank though as far as I'm aware.

This is misinformation. The USSR was not communist and its supporters are not leftists.
Thanks for letting us know about Walz' deployment of the national guard against BLM protesters tho, I checked it out thanks to you and it's true. I also read in the same article that Walz put George's killer in prison, so he seems like a mixed bag. Definitely better than what passes for the bare minimum in American politics.
Yeah, I generally like him. That one thing isn't ideal, but there is no politician I agree with totally. I think he's a good choice.
Walz confirmed tanki. Kamala has the leftist vote on lock.
My single favorite report was on this one.
Misleading title, it's not clear this is a parody post.
For those that don't know, it's a parody.
It is obvious because of "couches", but apart from that, it could have been 100% Fox "News".
Making parodies in modern times is a difficult business. You make up a joke, just to see that reality just overtook you with the pedal to the metal.
It sucks that I was unsure at "unemployed minors," because the party is overtly pro-child labor and that bad at optics.
Honestly the only thing that threw me off is taxes on couches. Otherwise I would've thought this was real
Nah I was completely ready to believe that Fox News would take a joke Walz made about couches (which I knew he did) and claim it was an assault on money and freedom.
That was where I figured it out too.
I honestly didn't believe you until I saw the "Tax on corporate profits, couches"
I really can't tell with this reality anymore
Canada is right here, guys, and we're only sorry we don't have free college. Free dental is coming, though.
The wingnuts are so messed up I had to read this twice and really try to reassure myself it wasn't real.
I realized when I got to "couches."
I could tell by "LGBTQIA+" and "Rights", also the phrasing of the medical care one.
I feel like this could be on fox news and they would lap it up.
I feel like this will be shared uncritically by people who sincerely oppose women having "unsupervised female health decisions" et al.
