    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.

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

    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?

      See - he’d be a disaster for international diplomacy, because this is guaranteed to make Englishmen tut or even shake their heads slightly.

        My Australian friend thought I was a complete barbarian for heating water for tea on the stove in a pot

          That at least has the weight of tradition behind it.

          Wait, you do mean a stove kettle, don’t you? You don’t mean just a normal vegetables pot? You can’t mean that, surely?
