I'm really hopeful that in the future Americans will not associate any big historical special words with Reagan at all, "Reagan Revolution", it's pretty gross he's lionized at all.

Where's that Horus Heresy parody where Primarch Reagan leads the class traitor legions against God-Emperor Obama? Another LF gem, lost to the sands of radium archives. :smith:

e: I remembered this because I had a history prof legit make that comparison last week. It was fairly surreal.

See, this is my Problem with Amergin. He is literally a tepid republicans.txt markov chain bot. Even his manually type-edited concern trolls sound second-hand and half-hearted. I mean, look at this: a grainy, artifacted photo of people who clearly fail the paper bag test, presented as a slam dunk response in a manner much like I would expect from one of my relatives. And yet, the image of a smug shitlord reclining and smirking at The Liberal in the Internet isn't materializing.

Is there a point to this style of "satire" beyond a self-satisfied gotcha! when it ends up on some gullible local news site? The National Report presents itself as a legitimate news source, the only difference is that all of its articles are false.

Why does it matter how TNR presents itself? Everyone here got suckered in by second-hand reporting of it and didn't even think to go to the source.

This is the exact same thing that happens when conservatives get suckered in by Facebook reposts of Facebook reposts of Duffel Blog or Daily Currant articles and the reaction is always "ha ha stupid Republicans can't even be bothered to do the minimal amount of homework needed to see if this is even true". If all you're going off of is second-hand information, the information is only as genuine as the second-hand source presents itself.

Except TNR is indistinguishable from a tabloid unless you're actively looking for evidence of satire.
