This is literally Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Back in my day propaganda tried to be convincing. 

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In my day satire was easily recognized

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

Honestly I can't tell if Nick Adams is satire or not. Like he's legitimately very conservative, but also the posts get so ridiculous he MUST realize it can't be taken seriously

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 173 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Is this supposed to be serious? It's so over the top that it reads like satire. The only thing missing is the applause.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 64 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Apparently this guy is a joker/troll, but still on the MAGA train. Satire, but uncritical of the thing it's satirizing? Maybe like Babylon Bee?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You know, I couldn't figure out what bugged me so much about the Babylon Bee until you just pointed it out perfectly. Most conservative humor is punching down, which is what makes it so unfunny in the first place. But even when they do an article poking fun at conservative stuff, they still don't quiet land any punches. Satire is supposed to be critical of what you're making fun of, not just acknowledging it.

IMO guys like OOP, and lots of conservative memes, are more about getting a reaction out of ideological/political opponents and then laughing about that. That is the thought process, but it doesn't have to actually happen this way, which makes it even sadder.

In other words, they imagine libs getting mad at their jokes, and that's the joke.

Other people have described this much better than me.

I'm not sure exactly where BB falls here, but at least partly the above applies.

Alone in the basement, Adams was furiously whacking off with one hand, as he typed his Melania fanfic with the other.

'I am settling in for a showing of 'Melania' and the theater is PACKED!'

"What else does this story need?" he whacked. "Oh, yes. Little girls!"

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

His non-typing hand immediately doubled its speed.

I am settling in for a showing of ‘Melania’ and the theater is PACKED!

Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks.

“Avatar? No, son,” I curtly replied. “I don’t watch woke movies. I’m here to see the groundbreaking documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady.”

The man’s two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his sleeve, and begging, “Daddy, we want to see Melania!”

“But. But…” he stammered, “I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia 2?”

“No, no, NO,” they said, now nearly shouting. “We want to see Melania!! She is the most beautiful First Lady EVER.”

Their father was scrambling, stressed out, and disoriented.

“Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.”

Tears began to well up in their eyes.

“But…” I said in a hushed tone, “I happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I’d like you and your dad to have them.”

They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?”

He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked.

“Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

Tears in their eyes, sir!...sir!

And a crowd of thousands had appeared, and they all applauded.

And then everyone stood up and cheered....fucking lying pieces of shit.

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I don't understand wtf is going on with the RT score.

10% Critics, 99% Verified Audience

99 audience score? Surely, it's bots, right?

So you look at "All Audience" and you see 1/5 pretty much the whole way down:

Then Verified Audience.... and it's 5/5 the whole way down?

These are (supposedly) verified ticket purchase reviews/accounts. Did they seriously just buy up a bunch of tickets just pay for high reviews?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 2 days ago

Only MAGAs would pay to see this so of course all the ticket purchasers are glazing it. It could have been just watching her take a dump for 2 hours and they'd rate it 5 stars.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I mean they buy books in bulk to get an author on the best seller list

Surely, it's bots, right?

Can you imagine anyone actually paying to watch the movie? Yeah, I'd say it's bots or something along those lines. 99% is about as believable as North Korean "election" results

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

same as it ever was

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So... They're writing fan fiction now....

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Always have been, remember in 2016 when he said he'd release his tax information (required to get clearances) and he failed to do so, kept saying he would and now is suing the people who voted for him for $10 billion dollars.

Edit: why.. Because he told the population he would do the job for $0, and the tax records showed he didn't donate that money and was lying to every Republican voter.

Oh and because he can now blatantly steal from them, and they will say yes please, because every Republican is an absolute bootlicker

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 82 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Well kids, if you want to see Melania (pulls out phone), here you go!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Even naked, I literally couldn't find her less attractive. And I'm a straight dude who isn't even that picky about women.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah Nick Adams is a professional MAGA troll.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (14 children)

I don't know if that means he is MAGA and a troll.

Or if he trolls other MAGAts.

And I can't tell from the post if it's satire or not, because of how deranged MAGAts are.

I'll take "Things that didn't happen" for 200.

And then he woke up, sorry unasleeped, and found his sheets were sticky.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 days ago

And his name was Albert Frankenstein

[–] eddanja@lemmy.world 40 points 4 days ago

They then got up to the doors for Melania and the Easter Bunny said, "Tickets please.." and the man searched his pockets but couldn't find his tickets.

And the thousands or whatever made up, bullshit claims of people started yelling, "Hurry up!" "We want to see the movie!!"

Suddenly the person behind the man got impatient, pulled out a gun and shot the man.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

And then everyone in the lobby clapped.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 15 points 4 days ago

They're not even good at lying on the internet

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Nick, If your fantasies were of any interest to others they wouldn't be fantasies.

It doesn’t stop there. Here’s the rest of the post

… “Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.”

They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of pop faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?”

He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked.

“Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

Actually it's the thrilling story of how some filmmakers and executives kissed Trump's wife's ass. It's a thrilling story about her raking in millions of millions of dollars to show that her idiot husband isn't the only one who can exploit his presidency for profit.

Its actually embarrassing seeing anyone get mad at this account, when it's pretty clearly a shit post account.
