Sarcasm, like liberal scare tactics, needs an element of realism to be more effective. And gravity is not affected by density, only by mass.

“Sarcasm, like liberal scare tactics, needs an element of realism to be more effective.”

A common technique I’ve detected is to start a sarcastic or satirical piece with a premise that is just slightly implausible, perhaps a quote from a person with a slightly oddball name, and then add facts that make it increasingly more absurd as you go. Different people will catch on at different points, but by the end it should be obvious that it’s not real.

Of course some people will get all the way through it and never catch on.

True, but it’s the liberal’s density that is the target.

Understood. The foundation of the Climate Hoaxer’s argument is based on incorrect information too, that’s why I went that way. :)
