It’s genuinely a good joke, this sub is too sensitive lol.

No it just makes us angry that the worst people in the world can actually be funny sometimes.

Lmao it’s funny that this reply has more ‘updoots’ than the reply it’s replying too the same way Sea-Community-4325’s reply to the original comment has more ‘updoots’ than the actual comment does. While in neither case the latter is necessarily challenging what the former says, in both cases the latter manages to remind people that “GOP bad” and that’s it. Reddit is pathetic.

No, I’m correctly pointing out that the issue with the joke isn’t our sensitivity but rather our distaste of Republicans generally and our inability to deal with them being funny sometimes.
