You do know this is satire, right? (Satire) must be added to the headline or Mods will zot it.

Oh, I agree about sarcasm and satire.
But I remember years ago too many such articles were being posted. And too many FReepers believed them to be true and got their knickers in a knot over their gullibility.
That’s why John Semmes and others have to post (Satire) in the headlines.
FWIW.
Babylon Bee has been spot on lately.
I don’t think this one qualifies as “Satire”, every candidate is preaching exactly this message to the masses.
“Bernie, Bernie, I can’t tell when you’re kidding.”
Ask the Bernick how his wife was finally able to make Burlington College tuition free.
