Poe's Law

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

This is what happened at the Donald on reddit. It was a place to meme Trump's idiotic presidential bid. But as soon as he got real chance at the election it was soon overran by the MAGA crowd.

People keep saying this and I think it's bullshit.

If anything, the fascists were so stupid from the get-go that sane people thought they were joking.
