Why aren't the fascist far-left leaving the country they loathe? People usually don't try to transform and then destroy that which they love, so why aren't they just leaving? These days, the Babylon Bee has the range, and it's putting its rhetorical rounds right on target. Now it's just firing for effect, from a story about a man catching up on the latest news by reading two-year-old posts on a conspiracy blog to a satirical report from a few years ago about a group of leftists heading for the Socialist Paradise of Venezuela.
