My friend and I have a game we often play. He’ll read a headline to me, and it’s up to me to guess whether it’s a real headline or something from The Babylon Bee. During the Trump era, I guessed correctly about half the time. Since Biden took over, I’m wrong almost 100% of the time. The problem is that I keep thinking crazed headlines are satire, but they’re not. As the old saying goes, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. It turns out to be difficult to satirize societal madness.
