The Onion used to be a place of sinister satire. Nowadays, its just spreading hopeful and cheery messages

That would probably actually work on Musk.

Can someone explain what this is satire of? Or is it just random?

Teen girls are notorious for bullying, mostly kids in middle school (ages 11-14 for non-americans) in general are terrible

The onion typically bases their satire on recent political developments so I thought maybe he had shown to care about the opinion of teenage girls in a less extreme way or something similar. So in this case there is no actual deep satire and just being a bit silly?

Maybe you haven't realized it, but it's most definitely the case.

It really feels split to me. The local news section has always gotten to me.

technically Donald Trump has always been deeply moved by little girls. some say he's spent countless hours with little girls behind closed doors and that he's well versed in training them for obedience.

others say Donald Trump is a pedophile.

If only there was some sort of list

It's dark, American humor. Teen girls are brutal, and legitimately have led other teen girls to suicide.

This country is so fucked up.

Edit: This was quite funny, though. Again, dark humor haha.

I'm sure this would be real if some of us got a chance, tbf

If only. Fuck JD Vance

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just call him Pope Francis and it might happen

[-] misteloct@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I wish he was that sensitive. Trump and Musk, sure. Vance is the smarter, worse type of Republican imo.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

He isn't terribly smart. Just not quite as stupid as Donnie.

The bar is not that high. You just need to stop digging when the shovel is still in usable condition.
