A Thurber Brigade Satirical Sidestep
The “Flat Earth” disciples must surely be unapologetic satirists as how can
they believe in such nonsense when overwhelming facts stand in their way?
Of course, that must also be the case for all those Trump supporters who
just laugh off all the facts and (surely) pretend to believe the man's lies.
Subconsciously they are winking at us.
For example, they are clearly pulling our leg when they try to convince us that
The Donald actually won the popular vote. This even though all evidence,
including from countless Republican state Secretaries of State, that he lost by over three million votes.
Along those lines, they must have their fingers crossed when they say that thousands of non-citizens voted in the 2016 election even though there is absolutely
no evidence.
And just as similar, they must secretly roll their eyes as they say that
undocumented immigrants get to take advantage of all those American benefits
even though everybody who runs those programs or works for them profess that it
is not true nor possible.
You have to assume that these folks are pulling your leg when they say we don't
need to regulate business/corporations because those businesses would never do anything that might harm citizens. No, those folks would never pollute our
rivers, make toys that hurt children, inflate prices on necessary medicines,
etc. Trust them.
These people are also laughing under their breath as they tell you that the
Trump campaign had absolutely no connections to the Russians, even though many
who worked on the campaign have admitted to having made contact with the Ruskies.
And speaking of Russians, those Trump supporters who say the Christopher Steele dossier is
fake are surely trying to be sarcastic as they undoubtedly know that Steele was a trusted U.K. operative who specializes on Russian covert operations; is not a
Democratic supporter but instead didn't want Trump elected due to his likely
vulnerability to Russian pressure because of his business and, ahem, personal
scandals with Putin's agents.
Yes, just like those Flat-Earthers there is no way that Trump supports are that
gullible and naive. They don't believe the over 2,000 lies that Trump has said.
No, They just love satire and parody. What funny people.
Okay, The Thurber Brigade actually does believe Trump supporters are that
stupid and gullible. However, if you are a fan of satire and parody, be sure and get
a copy of SEX and the AMERICAN MALE, the hilarious satirical e-book about
American culture.
