Do the downvoters not pick up on the very obvious sarcasm here?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Poe's Law is thing.

Took me reading it a few times before I was confident it was sarcasm.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or they're cheney-supporting centrists who did pick up on the sarcasm.
