The only thing more pathetic than bad satire are those taken in by it.
No, what is even sadder are the people who are gullible enough to be taken in by one of the oldeest Communist disinformation, propaganda, and enemy demoralization dirty tricks a century old. Take genuine fact, recast it as erroneous rumor or satire to discredit the ideea, and then denounce the strawman to hide the real truth standing out in open view. Snopes is leading the disinformation propaganda campaign with a deninciation of the Duffelbag story. Meanwhile the dozens of real stories about the real military vote fraud is ignored and now defamed.
Congratulations, you have now experienced enemy Communist political warfare.
