I think the Babylon Bee has been a good replacement.
They're an uninspired impersonation of The Onion, with a clear political purpose.
> Hundreds of thousands of women across America were left standing utterly clueless as to what to do at a voting booth after their husbands failed to tell them who to vote for.
> Voting at several polling stations ground to a halt after all of the booths became occupied by bewildered women. "This is a disaster," said poll worker John Bingham. "We've had thirty women taking up every booth for the past three hours, just staring like deer in headlights. We offered to bring them lunch while they made their choice, but they couldn't decide on a restaurant."
> At publishing time, voting stations had been forced to designate one voting booth for men only to allow voting to continue.
Given the history of women's right to vote, current laws causing women to needlessly die, and that many women today are undoubtedly being coerced by spouses to vote a certain way, calling this simply tone deaf would be extremely charitable. It is only truly funny if you have "women, am I right" as one of your shibboleths. Without that, it is clear misogyny.
All this to say I don't think a site promoting sexist views is a good alternative for a site that has made a master-class punchline out of trying to take a terrorist bigot off the air.
That's the joke. It's 2024 and that's not a thing anymore in America.
Vance’s backer, Peter Thiel, has also previously implied that women being able to vote has weakened democracy.
It’s 2024 in America, and this is a joke indeed.
The Onion will go down in history as one of the most influential satire projects of all time, and is filled with genuinely talented writers and comedians. Even their early Youtube work was prescient and brilliant.
They aren't even playing the same game.
comparing both instagram pages, BB posts mostly political content and they're all critical of democrats/liberals. the onion's page has much more variety
