2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Man how fucked is this timeline that I had to scratch my head a bit over whether this was a sincere response or a caricature of a particular US demographic?
I wrote the goddamn thing and even then I was like holy shit that almost comes off sincere
The sad thing is, in this timeline it isn't out of place among the whackadoo things they've said.
The hillbillies think Taylor Swift is part of a conspiracy to prevent electing their chosen dictator of all things. That's where they are now. It isn't like what you wrote is too far ahead on the road of crazy; more like it's barely visible on the rearview.
The film idiocracy is almost a documentary at this point, we keep inching closer and closer

A few weeks ago, a stud football player was being called gay by Conservatives because he had the audacity to date a woman over the age of 30.
This is where we are as society. It's fascinating.
Fellas, is it gay to fuck women?

That at least I think came astroturfed from the billionaire think tanks who've been throwing anything they can at the wall to try to discredit Swift, who's dangerous because she encourages voting. They know there's nothing to really attack her on (except on stuff like using a jet too much and having expensive tickets, but those things can't be criticized from the right), so they're just barfing out anything they can.
thanks for the meme kind stranger
