    ROFL, like an idiot, I just assumed troll instead of looking deeper. The trolls are really thick in the political comment sections, I’ve unfortunately defaulted to disbelieving in people first instead of taking in a whole comment before drafting a response.

      Yeah, no worries - seeing the upvote/downvote ratio most people seem to have missed the (don’t look at my instance’s ccTLD) part.

      Although the comment section has also become significantly worse since I’ve commented, so my comment might not be as obviously satirical anymore as I’ve thought

        To your credit, in retrospect, it’s a mighty fine satirical comment. However, it depended on non-speed reading silly sausages like myself to actually grasp immediately. I feel that I’ve grown too used the writing of The Onion, who’s distinctive style that makes a ‘this is satire’ light turn on in my mind. I’m actually laughing about it now, but, still feel a bit disappointed in myself at the moment.
