    I used to love The Onion so much. Then the state of affairs got so bad that The crap coming out of the government was worse than the stuff they made up. I get PTSD tics now wearing that someone in the government is going to take notes.

      Onion also got bought out a couple times. The new videos are low effort crap; nothing like the superb clips from 10-15 years ago, which is probably the best satire ever created.

        I’m honestly kind of shocked they survived the Trump administration. Could you imagine trying to outbid the government for crazy during those years?

        their tiktok videos are pretty good as it makes fun of the typical tiktok videos, but peak onion may never be reached again
