Honestly, this is more a prediction than satire at this point.

the onion is getting really good at "getting" me. they had me again with this article!

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's because reality has caught up with their ridiculousness.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

Reminds about interview with creator of Masyanya.

"How your script is always so ridiculous and prophetic?"

"I just look at current trends and extrapolate."

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 months ago

Nono, that's reality catching up.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 52 points 9 months ago

Got me too. I literally said WTF before I noticed.

[–] Kattiydid@slrpnk.net 45 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Cheese and rice. Got me good.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Wow what's that expression? Like it :-)

I had to double check the name of the sub to make sure this wasn’t a real law.

Fucking Onion keeps giving them ideas; the GOP might as well start paying them as policy advisors

JESUS CHRIST!!! Don't give them fucking ideas!

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

You'd think that after the video from from the other day was co-opted in hours they'd wise up.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

I read the headline and went, huh, sounds about White before I saw the website.

Damn you The Onion...

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 21 points 9 months ago

I actually ate the onion. Spooky that this one feels believable.

[–] anas@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

okay I’m not American but I definitely ate this one

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

dammit Global Tetrahedron you got me good

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 13 points 9 months ago

Someone remind 'em it's only funny when it's satire

[–] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 9 months ago

scariest thing I've seen this Halloween omg. Never ever has a headline made me physically gasp.

19th Amendment:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Only about a century old. Let's go for another 100.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dammit, those laws allowing virgins to vote!

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 9 months ago

a wife could be a virgin, maybe not according to the GOP but there's no reason the wife needs to have sex with the husband

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Basically US can create US LLC and deny to anyone based on anything.

Will say "it is not goverment, so it doesn't count"

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you are saying they will privatize elections somehow as a loophole around following the constitution, I am skeptical

[–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

No, I mean private company beating everyone who they don't want to see on elections

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 4 points 9 months ago

Whaaaat?!..... Oh okay. Nice.
