I get that and appreciate the explanation.

But at least to me this doesn't read as satirical in the least. Which has been a trend for awhile. Nottheonion has become politics2 because people are just posting anything. The comments reflect the same. I haven't seen anyone say "Oop, you got me" in months.

I think it's more the other way round. Politics has become the Onion, and even gone well past it, while the Onion has stayed in the same place and accidentally become a serious news source.
