The difference is satire vs disinformation; nobody with any brains actually believes Vance fucked a couch, and every time I've seen it queried anywhere it's always stated as a completely fake dumb joke.

It's just fucking funny because fascists are creepy snowflakes, and it gets under their skin.

Satire is supposed to be thought provoking. This is pathetic.

"I don't care" is always a legitimate answer. I just think you guys are wrong and engaging in the same shitty behaviours we are trying to grow out of as a society.
