    He’s not being sarcastic. He’s artificially injecting sarcasm into his voice so he can say what he really believes. He wants to jail Democrats and pardon the insurrectionists. He defines everything that is beneficial about our society as evil. He’s talks like he lives in alternate reality. He wants to tear down our liberal democracy and replace it with a christofascist dictatorship. It’s not a joke.

    It’s time to stop giving these guys a free pass when they say they’re just joking or speak in a sarcastic way. These people are unironically telling you what they want to do. Believe them when they say they want to destroy our democracy.

      it’s a big part of why bottomfeeder conservatives don’t pick up on sarcasm or any form of linguistic subtlety - they have their own stories they tell themselves about what Don Jesus said after the fact, and don’t need to worry about whether he was being sarcastic to own the libs. The angels don’t use sarcasm, so neither do they, and they certainly don’t expect it from a cheesy poof.
