    I don’t get it… Is the joke just that conservative cartoons label everything and use straw-man stereotypes?

        I suppose it’s probably funnier if you actually encounter these irrationally conservative people in real life - though I suppose I prefer the situation where I don’t 😅

            Nice try, I’m not eating the onion this time.

            (Seriously though, the satire isn’t actually worse than this. Which makes sense, because… What the actual fuck. But yeah.)

      The Onion is a parody of normal newspapers; since normal newspaper political comics follow satire, The Onion goes double up to satirize their satire.
