I have GOT to unsubscribe from this community until after the election. In the 90s I could laugh at how absurd the stories were, and how only stupid people could think it was real.

But this......we now live in an absurd reality where I'm sure Fox News could legit run with this headline. How do you run a news satire website, when life itself is a satire of itself???

I'm mentally exausted. Good thing this election will be over soon.

“Look to your right. Now look to your left. Every man, woman, and child you see? We will fight them all. With your support, the American people will be defeated once and for all.”

Too perfect.

This isn't satire, it's just an observation of what he unironically claims to be doing.

I'm surprised Trump hasn't set up a subscription service for being American™ so that he can say political enemies are not American™.
