I don't know if the Babylon Bee are delusional enough that they didn't think their readers would take this personally, or if they wanted to distance themselves from their own reputation. Amazing how the majority of replies are former supporters blaming Jews. https://nitter.poast.org/TheBabylonBee/status/1772339418986168450

    These are the articles the regular readers will share with libs so the libs think Babylon Bee is a centrist parody site. It's like a gateway drug that is incredibly unfun

      I feel like it’s also like I said in another thread. White supremacists have no intention of making lower class white lives better, they either make fun of them because they’re embarrassed of them or they don’t talk about them because if a white utopia ever existed they’d be the ones doing all the work. In conclusion white supremacy is a failed ideology from the jump.

        I'll add that leave it to Babylon Bee to make fun of a group of people in a reactionary way - people can't control who their parents are. Maybe this is just to signal to the Nazis that they need to get back to doing pure incest to qualify

    Making a play for the libs who have decided Jon Stewart is a tankie for criticising Biden?

      That or they genuinely hate the subsection of their followers that fit this stereotype

      Conservative hatred is an all consuming ouroboros

      This feels like the "respectable" (i.e. concerned about optics) right wingers clashing with the online weirdos

    Question: Did they really reuse this lame joke? Twice. With years in between? Yeah.
