    People downvoting this thread because they’re not getting that this is satire by the onion makes this post infinitely funnier. Well played OP

      I don’t get it… Is the joke just that conservative cartoons label everything and use straw-man stereotypes?

          I suppose it’s probably funnier if you actually encounter these irrationally conservative people in real life - though I suppose I prefer the situation where I don’t 😅

            Somehow this isn’t satire

              Nice try, I’m not eating the onion this time.

              (Seriously though, the satire isn’t actually worse than this. Which makes sense, because… What the actual fuck. But yeah, that does make it unclear that it’s satire and what point it’s trying to make.)

        The Onion is a parody of normal newspapers; since normal newspaper political comics follow satire, The Onion goes double up to satirize their satire.

      I was not sure what I was reading (not having a lot of references for actual American conservative cartoons probably explains that a bit) but crying liberty was too much even for gullible me.
