Breaking News: Trump deputizes protestors to fight looters.

Sorry Onion. This is not satire
JinxRocks
Take concrete steps? Or make them over the bodies to hide them? Either way, onion may be predicting the future outcome
TheSecondLastUnicorn
They aren’t even writing satire anymore...
ThatEyeGuy
Yup

The Onion has been working their asses off lately.
ChrisMorray
They gotta do their best to be unbelievable, now that reality is in a surreal spot.

The Onion transitioned to hard news so gradually I didn't even notice.

The Onion is going to have to become a lot more f-ed up if they want to stay in business.

Trump sells the US to Mexico

This was the onion and I legit thought it was real. How far we have fallen... Yikes
MsGenericEnough
I did a double-take, so don't feel badly.
SlushMagic
What the fuck, that's so messed up, I can't believe it, it's almost like it's satire.
LordNergal
Except if it turned out to be true, most of us would not be surprised.

When you can't tell the difference between reality and satire anymore, the satirists start telling the truth.
HughJohnson55
Actually clever.

Literally every Onion article posted on this site sees the same 2 types of replies. Feels a little circle-jerkish at this point.
HCBailly
Circle-jerking on the internet? No way!
GeminiDreams
How far The Onion has fallen. Now they're just reporting the news.
Stuckinaboxthere
It must be so difficult for them right now, trying to out ridiculous reality
Neoeon
They tried man! They tried! No one could do it! NO ONE!

I'm a self-identified, egotistical asshole who openly admits to not giving a fuck about anything, and even I care about police brutality.

It should. You really don’t give a fuck about other human life?? Just because seeing it is an inconvenience. That’s not cool.
