Last summer, for instance, Sapik posted a video on Facebook for a campaign fundraising golf event that said: “Let’s get rid of Democracy; everyone in favor raise your hand!”
“It’s a joke,” Sapik responded at the time.
It’s always a ‘joke, just kidding, what’s the matter can’t you take a joke?!’ - until the timing works out and they go ahead and do it. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.
Big “…unless 👉👈” energy here
Jokes contain an element of truth. They say it’s a joke but it’s also true.
In one of Colbert’s monologue’s, he compared this to joking with your spouse about having a threesome. If you do it one time, it might be a joke. If you keep doing it over and over - specifically asking if he friend would “get the joke” - then you’re not joking. You’re being serious in trying to have a threesome.
That one could actually be a joke but for the person saying it and the context. Usually their “jokes” contain neither irony nor humor.
I call it Shrödinger’s Joke. The statement is simultaneously a joke and a serious proposal. The wave function only collapses once someone reacts to it.
If the reaction is “that’s outrageous,” then the statement becomes a joke.
If the reaction is “hell, yeah, I’ve got my Nazi flag ready,” then the statement was serious.
Republicans will never stop trying to steal elections
What you need to do is run double agent Republican candidates
The other side is already doing shit like this. May as well join them since gerrymandering has made it about impossible to elect Democrats.
Would be stupid easy too.
The radical woke LGBT Marxist leftist Biden wants to take away your patriotic water heaters.
Gimme votes.
Or run Republicans out of office with torches and pitchforks.

It’s truly a bold move to make a clearly illegal action after voters delivered you a loss of -10%. In a swing state.
Either Republicans accept they’ll have to run in fairer maps, or they’ll create an environment where their gerrymandering isn’t enough to stop public backlash – and then be forced to run in fairer maps anyway.
It’d be great if she gets impeached, she resigns and the governor appoints an ultra left judge who agrees to step down after the special election, where she runs again and wins.
