      requires knowing (and caring) about the artist and knowing they work for The Onion and knowing they do spoofs – I think this is only the third time I’ve seen anything of theirs and I’m far more likely to invoke Poe’s law than to spend any time questioning the lack of humor …

        Knowing that the artist does satire is not a prerequisite for recognizing that this is satire. It’s very obvious. And also hilarious.

          Unfortunately, a lot of “obvious satire” turns out to be serious. This is a bit more obvious than most, but it can be hard to tell, these days.

      Oops. Maybe I should have made that quite clear that it’s satirising the American right 🤣
