I remember when The Onion was ridiculous.

Maybe they should shift gears and start printing stories like "JD Vance Apologizes to Haitian Immigrants" or "Trump Kicks Neo-Nazis Out of Rally".

I had to check the community and link, because I could believe he would say something like this.

Honestly, I could imagine every single network reporting this exact headline and I wouldn't bat an eye.

I think it has. In his head. The Onion just has an advanced scoop.

Me: God dammit. I must be slipping. I used to be able yo laugh at an obviously fake onion headline.

Comment section: I FELL FOR THE ONION HEADLINE!!!

Me: Oh good. It's not just me.

I had to triple check the source before I was convinced it wasn’t real.

Maybe it is real. Anything’s possible these days.

Onion is trying to make a comeback but honestly, their content has been a bit meh because it's almost too on the nose and close to reality.

Old onion was great because the satire cascaded into something completely out of this world humor.

Like if they ran their closeted republican report today (https://youtu.be/simV1ZXFsxI) it just wouldn't be as funny because the problem has only gotten worse in the wrong direction. There is just no next level up that they can go and still keep it satire.

They are going to get in trouble. Satire has to be obvious.
