OTTAWA – The Conservative Party of Canada has officially announced that in addition to walkable cities, vaccines, and transgender children, they are also deeply afraid of eating bugs.
“We WON’T Eat Bugs,” the CPC said in an online petition it posted this week. “No one is asking us to, but we’re so scared someone might, and it could be Justin Trudeau. And that makes us furious and so very frightened of this version of Justin Trudeau that we made up who is making us eat bugs.”
This isn’t the Onion, and conservatives inventing new bullshit to pretend to be outraged about is incredibly common and hilarious to laugh at. Satire always has a political agenda, even if you’re too dense to notice it.
Is it like poker? If you can’t spot the satire…
Tbh, this is what fringe right-wing media and s supposed to do. If you attack a real organisation over bullshit reasons, they can sue you for libel. So they make something up. See also: War on Christmas by hbomberguy
