    What are you talking about? I heard that Tim Walz microwaves his water when he makes tea rather than using a tea kettle. What kind of monster does that?

    The world would be a very dull place if no-one can be expected to pick up on context clues. This community’s description doesn’t need changing, any more than The Onion’s by-line needs changing from “America’s Finest News Source” - it’s part of the fun that you’re supposed to realise that it’s not.

    If you have a tendency to take things very literally, it’s kind of on you to realise that about yourself, and spend a bit more time investigating, or confirming things with other people in your life, or asking in communities for other people who tend to be a bit literal (for whatever reason), or even something like ‘nostupidquestions’. But not here - you’re interrupting play because you haven’t grasped the rules.

    The community SAYS it’s for the TRUTH about Tim Walz, but I’ve seen nothing here but SATIRE! What a bunch of liars!

    I know you’re getting a lot of blow back, but I think you’re not wrong. yeah I really love this /c and think its a laugh but just remember when r/the_donald started out as satire and it was funny too but then it got taken over by nutters who didn’t see the satire, and I’d hate to see that here too.

      The moderators in charge of The Donald were right-wing cretins from the start, though. The only thing that was satirical was the level of support given.

        Like I said I get a real laugh out of this /c and I hope it keeps going especially if they win and we get 8 years of the truth about Tim. It some funny shit talking. But I do worry about Poe’s Law and don’t think we shouldn’t dog pile on someone who wants to make sure we’re all just playing. OP’s heart was probably in the right place and I’m trying to be curious and not judgement.

        Thanks Man it’s hard work but I appreciate it.

        Seriously every time this /c pops up in all I get a chuckle. And really that’s the point in lemmy right?

    Just block the entire community. The last thing we need in this world is more confusion and attempts to hide bullshit.

    I’m just blocking this entire whatever it is. Satire or not, it’s annoying
