I mean the onion does make headlines about US politics that fit stuff that is posted here because it is just so absurdly stupid or weird. The Onion itself is a political page.
Edit: I do agree that some of the posts about US politics in this community don't really reach the Onion Levels of absurdity
For instance, Loomer bragging to her dad that she gave trump blow jobs is less political, and more gross. This is what downvotes and upvotes are for.
Fucking what???
Right! The not the onion joke is all about how the actual news is stupider than real life satire and that absolutely includes politics.
The problem is low effort posts.
Personally, I look forward to Reminder: Reminder: Reminder 3 the Remindering.
100% /j
Nah, by that time I will just leave this community.
There is WAYYYYY too much US politics here
Sadly that's just the Internet, you can't turn a corner anywhere in any community but for someone going on about some internal/niche thing happening in that country. They never specify where they are either, just assuming we're all exactly where they are, in the only country that exists.
I'm still annoyed by it don't get me wrong, but I don't expect it to change, sadly. There's just life, and life is pain and disappointment.
Be the change you want to see in the world
Yes and no. You can't say no politics when the political environment has made the Onion's existence impossible with how absurd real life is.
Wow yea I just reported like 15/20 of the newest posts as off topic. They were just news headlines. Nothing oniony at all.
Considering politics nowadays, the vent diagram is almost a circle. The world is what it is, sorry…
...think to yourself “Is this something that insert racist/bigot who is incompetent would do?” If it is a yes, don’t post it.
I mean, they obviously would do it, or the headline is wrong. If they wouldn't have done it, they wouldn't have done it, but they apparently did.
But that's just me being pedantic. I do agree with you that a lot of posts are just trying to dunk on Trump and his group chat for being stupid. Being stupid is not enough to be funny, and the headlines here should be comedic in some way.
PieFed Trump/Musk filter for the win!
I’ve given up on this community a long time ago lol. It was pointed out in the past and not enough people cared.
Be the change you want to see
