I was actually more surprised this was the onion and not real. O.o

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

Wow, I ate the onion hard on this one.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I ate the onion real hard for a moment there.

Yeah, I was 100% ready to see something like "the ICE Twitter account using AI-gen" following it. Definitely a possibility.

Notable that this is how extreme they have to be to differ from reality

And isn’t that a sad commentary on life in the US?

The onion got the memo that their articles were being too realistic, thank you for readjusting.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Did they, though?

Or are they still just prescient?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

I believed it.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

I swear, for a second I thought it was real, just like "huh, guess that's not impossible 🤷‍♂️"

I love that in the midst of the gallows humor, they still managed to make fun of his hair.

Newsom's hair is almost punching down. OTOH, he deserves it. He looks so much like Gordon Gecko.

Republicans are literally falling into the lowest one can be.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What would be the music track they use?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unironically, "Born in the USA." But a cover by Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My ears are bleeding just imagining that 😬

[–] klu9@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Now imagine Mike Huckabee doing a rap in the middle.

I cant wait for the first liveleak video starring a gestapo agent. Could be gunfire. Could be chainsaw. Could be waterboarding. I don't care. I need it. And I'm touching myself to it.

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, that's super fucked up dude.

...let me know if you find one

Satire is dead.

And he'll still say "peaceful protests only guys"
