Trump Voter Feels Betrayed By President After Reading 800 Pages Of Queer Feminist Theory

this guy swung the vote in Pennsylvania

Everyone’s arguing about whether this satirizes the left or the right, but no one’s stopped to consider whether it’s satirizing English majors.

[dmitriygryaznov]

I can't stop being left speechless by the quality of actors Onion keeps using in their clips.

[aroha]

This man's performance is unbelievably flawless. If 6 year old, 2 minute YouTube videos by parody news sites could be nominated for Oscars, I'd hope this would be at the top of the list.

I get why it’s called “The Onion”

This comedy has layers

[Mayakran]

I would PAY to see this guy and his buddies discuss gender-fluid non-binary poetry slam “on the line” XD

[chrisparkhurst]

The Onion used to be satirical. If they're not careful they're going to accidentally win next year's Pulitzer Prize...

[Devan-hekr]

The most unbelievable things about this video is a steel worker actually having a job in Pennsylvania.

Onion: The only fake news source you can trust!

I like how this is basically making fun of everything at the same time

[noahbaker]

This is peak onion. Simultaneously attacking everyone, and no one.

One of the most underappreciated Onion skits. Mainly because nobody understands the joke. The joke isn't that Republicans are stupid monkeys that can't read. The joke isn't that feminism bad. The joke is at the expense of those who only have a purely academic understanding of systemic issues. The joke is that no average person would ever be converted by such complex and irregular language regardless of how correct it might be. And the joke is made funnier by the fact that Trump voters are usually considered "simple". They tend to have very straight forward and simple issues with society, so it's totally ridiculous to think that they would ever be convinced by such a verbose description of any of these issues.

Maybe the real satire was the friends we made along the way

[umno]

This is like the ascended version of satire, where everyone and no one is satirized at the same time

[importantstuf]

The fact that he is from Pennsylvania makes this even better in 2020

[xxdarkassassinxx]

The Onion really just attacked the left, the right, and English majors in one video.

[willering]

When me and the boys just casually attend a gender-fluid non-binary poetry slam at Swarthmore

[somerandomdude]

So many layers to this, it's like an onion. Wait...

[SoulSukkur]

I love that Judith Butler quote. It's such dry, dense, academic writing, and this man just strode right through it without flinching.

[regozs]

It's satirizing the disconnect between academics in the humanities and culture studies and typical people.
