Meanwhile Trump is proudly sharing clips of his promise to start the largest mass deportations in the history of the country.

Both sides though.

Nice the market is all green which is also satirical. It was not.

This picture is just oozing with WINNING. From the points made, to that bottom right where the economy is up.

Whoever thought this was on Brand for Fox must have gotten canned.

Did they just change the list? I'm not sure what to think if the ~~title~~ headline is accurate or not.

Dang it. I hate seeing my state brought up in politics, which is often. And there's my governor.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Soon to be was your governor.

It must feel like when everyone suddenly discovers the cool band you've listened to for years.

You are really skirting the edge of Poe's Law here. Not sure you could cut it any finer.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean, it's obviously fake, but on the other hand, it's disturbingly close to something they'd actually show to rile up their not-so-smart-or-empathetic viewers.

if "tampon tim" is an actual thing in their toolbox, then literally anything could be

No fucking way the couches part is real

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I see what you did there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is clearly fake based on some of the comedically worded bullets - is it that hard to tell?

It's funny, though, and a well-done fake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Get rid of the words "unemployed" and "couches" and it would have been pretty hard to spot as satire honestly.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Is that a real screen? Some of those seem mask off even by Fox's standards.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Gotta think about it because the ‘right’ ‘wing’ is pretty weird and fox is a fire in a bin outside a Gregs in Rotherham but no, the couch fucker tax is a giveaway.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Seriously, I wouldn't be shocked if it was real. But it definitely looks fake. Especially with the couch bit.

that's satire, right? has to be. please. "unemployed minors", that's just a fancy phrase for "children" who ARE IN SCHOOL

I rarely see anything Fox says for about two decades, and I've felt much better ever since.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (4 children)

ROFL They are making him seem like the best candidate to me! The 'unemployed minors' is wild, it's as if the MAGA don't believe students are real. (to prevent future comments saying it's fake, I want to say that I don't actually believe this is real. I should've been clearer, to be honest).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I mean it's clearly satire, but really only because of that one line. I don't think they were actually trying to fool anyone, but if they were, all they'd need to do is delete "unemployed" and I wouldn't have thought this was fake at all.

And "couches" obviously.

Or i dunno lol like as in children? Also they slayed me at couches

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Haha, yeah, the MAGA can only see them as future workers instead of mere children! Also, the couches bit really extorted a chuckle out of me. The meme about JD Vance (not based on fact) is certainly penetrating the political discussion. As JD Vance is weird enough to make it mildly believable.

taxes on corporate profits, couches

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This is when I realized it wasn't real.

I laughed out loud at the couches, which combined with rampant lgbtq + rights makes it cleary a joke.
