In October 2020, The Bee posted a story on Facebook with a link to a story about the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court titled “Senator Hirono Demands ACB be Weighed Against a Duck to See If She Is a Witch.” This is a reference to a bizarre Medieval-style test to determine if someone is a witch from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
In response, Facebook removed the post and demonetized The Bee’s page, citing their policies against incitement to violence.

Nuff said.
I remember sending a Coulter article to a lib friend years ago. In it, she suggested invading Muslim countries, killing the adult males and enslaving their women and children.
He was furious at such a statement, having taken it literally. I tried to explain that it was satirical reversal of the liberal acceptance of the Muslim doctrine, but he was gone off the deep end, never to return.
Libs aren’t humorless.. they just laugh at different things than conservatives do.
I was just thinking about Chevy Chase on SNL portraying Gerald Ford by falling down a lot. Such a laugh riot.
Can you imagine a TV comedian today trying to get laughs by portraying Joe Biden falling on stairs, falling off a bike, tripping over a dog, etc.? That would be a crime against the state.
The Devil cannot stand ridicule
To be fair, it is sometimes difficult to tell if the Bee’s satire on dems is real or not.
Liberals think that they are gods
Galatians 6:7
King James Bible
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
P.J. O’Rourke once wrote something to the effect of “a liberal will tell you that you can’t make fun of something (disabled people, maybe), while a conservative will tell you that while maybe you shouldn’t, you most certainly can.”
The Left can’t meme.
Because they’re humorless pr*cks?

The left has no sense of humor. The left is bitterly angry and obsessed with destroying this country. There is no room for humor in that.
Keep
Because the left are a bunch of stinking control freaks with guilty consciences and have no sense of humor.
I posted a satire piece once on Facebook and they flagged it as partially false. I thought it was hilarious that they included the word, “partially”. Not even “mostly.”
The Bee deserves a Pulitzer for “factual” reporting!! :-)
Why Satire Unhinges the Left and Mystifies the Right.
Liberals hate satire because it questions their “perfection”. They think they are the “good people” because they support the “correct” ideas and causes. Satire is a mirror that reveals their foolishness and self centeredness, which angers then greatly. Conservatives know they are not perfect and we can laugh at ourselves, which is healthy. I understand this because I married a liberal and while it was OK for me to make fun of myself any comment about her she took as a personal attack.
If only they realized that if they could laugh at themselves a little, they would disarm us.
Liberals prefer to sit in the seat of mockers.
Therefor it is very uncomfortable for them to be mocked.
It just goes against who they are.
