A candidate who has many interesting things to say about lots of stuff.

This is the most unfiltered article I’ve read from The Atlantic… by the time I finished the second paragraph I had to re-read the title to understand how I got here.

Edit: To be clear, this has been revealed as satire, its just so close to reality one could be forgiven for confusing the two.

    I honestly can’t tell if this opinion piece is genuine or just satire because of how much it jumps the fucking shark “I have Fissures in my Rectum that wouldn’t be there if I was treated by an American doctor unlike my doctor Hussein from Mexico.”

    And I feel like the title of novelist is being used very loosely.

      I went back and forth on this exact thought and thats why I shared it. I kept thinking “surely this is The Onion”?

        It’s a satire piece meant to highlight the absurdity of conservative positions despite how they are presented matter-of-fact in the mainstream. Would love a non paywalled linked to read it all.

      The first line is “I’m a lifelong registered Republican who has voted for Donald J. Trump in the past five presidential elections.”
