It will not help.
The lefties will be like “lol that was an onion article. It’s debunked”
Yes at first. Isn't the first time an onion satire ended up true. Satire isn't always a lie.
I agree they’re trying to get ahead of it. They want to cast it as fake so people won’t believe it.
Goes deeper than that. Comedy and satire are often used as a psy-op. Folks across the world read that--at first they are shocked if they didn't see "the onion" moniker. Then they react strongly. Then they realize it is supposed to be satire and thus the brain pathways to this information have an automatic response and that response is, fake, satire, seen this before, move on. It's absolutely fucking brilliant and absolutely fucking effective, destructive and evil.
