#HOPE 2023
EDIT: edited out the link to the trash article, sorry for anyone who felt offended, I thought it was obvious from the post text that the intent was to turn around the ridicule point of view of this pathetically right winged “subscription-biased” media outlet, and simply use their mad headline instead as if it was a piece of the past Obama campaign around the HOPE hahstag. I initially left the link for objectivity and context purposes.
While I agree with the article’s premises that treason should carry the death penalty, that presidents are not above the law, and that Trump is likely guilty of treason, this is some claptrap alt-right ragebait designed to rile their base.
However, credit where credit is due - clever of use of the misleading headline and the #hope tag - that’s some deft upvote farming and propaganda seeding. And I do love this line:
#hope indeed… but also #altright #ragebait #propaganda #trash
EDIT: OP responded below and the #hope hashtag was just missing its /s - hats off for the edits and clarification.
nah, I was just happy for the possibility and made a joke about the hashtag HOPE from the past Obama campaign, and that was it.
There was no propaganda intent, as many others noted the article easily seems written by someone with a severe anomaly involving having his brain way to close to where the body stores the feces, but I also reckon that I maybe should have maybe then just posted in Political Humor, maybe just reporting the headline without the actual link to the article itself.
My bad then if anyone here felt offended. Please consider the link to the article just as a NotTheOnion detached section.
Edited out the link.
Upvote - thanks for the clarification and edits, and my apologies for the insinuation. Just used to slick tricks like this from the alt-right and I assumed that the hashtag wasn’t tongue in cheek.
