Is this supposed to be serious? It's so over the top that it reads like satire. The only thing missing is the applause.
He also found $100 on the ground and several chicks hit on him and they all sang a song together
And everybody got the clap.
Apparently this guy is a joker/troll, but still on the MAGA train. Satire, but uncritical of the thing it's satirizing? Maybe like Babylon Bee?
Then it's not satire.
You know, I couldn't figure out what bugged me so much about the Babylon Bee until you just pointed it out perfectly. Most conservative humor is punching down, which is what makes it so unfunny in the first place. But even when they do an article poking fun at conservative stuff, they still don't quiet land any punches. Satire is supposed to be critical of what you're making fun of, not just acknowledging it.
IMO guys like OOP, and lots of conservative memes, are more about getting a reaction out of ideological/political opponents and then laughing about that. That is the thought process, but it doesn't have to actually happen this way, which makes it even sadder.
In other words, they imagine libs getting mad at their jokes, and that's the joke.
Other people have described this much better than me.
I'm not sure exactly where BB falls here, but at least partly the above applies.
Shoveling out the slop for the slop-hogs that want to believe orange man fantasy slop
