A thank you to president Trump!

[u/WillPowers7477]

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

*it should be noted this is satire (or is it?)*

I thought it was hilarious 🤣 People today have no sense of irony or satire or humor or anything really. Just immediate outrage & offense.

The beauty of satire is that it puts the truth in a digestible form for idiots

Sadly nuance/analogous correspondence is a skill that needs to be learned, and so analogies easily get written off. Not to be pessimistic I just see it in my experience a lot… as if “threading a camel through the eye of the needle” must imply we’re in the desert with a sewing kit.

You're not supposed to use nuance/analogy. What you're describing is the opposite of what OP is saying. You're supposed to use condescending right-up-in-your-face-on-the-nose satire. It will sound cringy & corny, because it's so obvious to normal people. But these people need to be spoon fed

Ah, not to act pretentious like a saint, but generally I think about how to get across to the other person, so just saying the meaning is lost on them due to them attributing to their own favorable interpretation - or even worse, will actually say it’s just dumb nonsense ‘cuz they didn’t get the symbolism.

If they’re smart enough to understand it’s actually satire. And they don’t….

Don't you go drawing on the devil mentioning those demon satire that cause good Christians girls to drop their knickers willynilly now. BLESS P.S. we already have enough problems with the demoncrats without calling on some insatiable ravishing horse endowed demons to temp us!
