I don’t think some of the readers of this piece “get” it—the writer isn’t laughing at this situation, he’s using humor to show just how insane 52% of the voters just went. That’s not the same as enjoying it.
Some of us don't get it since the article can't be found. The poster's link is worthless.
Maybe you’re right...some didn’t “get” it. I don’t know how anyone could have missed it...it was quite obvious.
