    I legitimately think this would work if he tried. Republicans obviously don’t dare to cross him, Democrats seem to be rolling over faster than ever, and we citizens are so terrified of our military being turned on us that we wouldn’t do anything about it.

    I think he should try it if for no other reason than to have a hilarious endcap on our nation for the history books.

      Satire doesn’t have to be funny. In this case is the exact point.

      The type of content is sarcastic, which, unlike irony, usually isn’t funny.

    The hard reality we live in is that sartire consists now of merely shifting the comma a bit, 1.2 trillion instead of 1-2 billion.
