the Babylon Bee strikes again

I admit I don't find The Babylon Bee all that funny.  Most of its satirical humor is obvious and aims for low-hanging fruit, and I've never once had a laugh-out-loud moment while reading it—quite unlike when I was reading The Onion in its heyday.  The following Bee article is in that simplistic vein, but during these dark times, the humor's message is one that should be spread far and wide.

Evil Fascist Dictator Censored And Voted Out Of Office 

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The dangerous, evil, all-powerful, fascist, Nazi dictator Donald Trump has been voted out of office and censored, as is tradition for evil dictators.

“I never thought I’d live to see the day where America is ruled by a dictator!” said concerned American Kelly Lampler. “But at least now he’s a dictator that has been effortlessly silenced online!”

“We are living through scary times indeed under the rule of this fascistic tyrant,” said worried CNN reporter Zeeke Chambers at a time when zero journalists or dissenters have been silenced, jailed, or executed by this administration. 

Like many dictators before him Trump will only serve one term as President. The President has acknowledged he must leave office and has agreed to an orderly transition on January 20th.  He will not be able to remain in office and win multiple sham elections enabling him to rule unchecked for as long as he pleases.

“A defining characteristic of dictators is how they lose elections and make claims highlighting that the election process is rigged,” explains Harvard election scholar Maggie Schultz. “This is all straight from the history books and exactly what happened with Stalin, Mao, and Hitler!”

According to sources, the dangerous Nazi will be peacefully retiring to Florida and holding the occasional rally, as dictators love to do. The peaceful democrats in power have vowed to pursue Trump, his family, and his friends to the ends of the earth and destroy their lives forever, as democrats love to do.

At publishing time, Apple, Twitter, and Facebook were praised for their sweeping power grabs and unprecedented suppression of freedom in a coordinated effort against Trump and all of his supporters.

It boggles me that the left continues to beat the "fascism" drum when it's screamingly obvious that Trump has never once acted like a fascist.  As the above article points out, there have been no mass arrests of journalists, all of whom have been able to bark loudly—for four long years—about Trump's supposedly repressive nature.  Were Trump truly the dictator the left says he is, we wouldn't be hearing from the left at all:  all the lefties would be either locked up or too terrified to say anything aloud.

Meanwhile, the left continues its campaign of actual repression.  Adam Crigler also has a good rant here about Pelosi, how the left is deluded by fake news, and the Capitol incident.
