Anyone with half a brain in their heads knows Ted Cruz was joking in his tweet saying that he wished The Babylon Bee’s ridiculous headline was a parody because he knows it’s satire but it’s all too close to reality these days as everything is really dumb.
Key portion of that first sentence, people with half a brain.
We’re not really dealing with our best or brightest on the Left so it’s no wonder they were confused about Ted’s tweet:
I wish this was parody. https://t.co/zYw82CuF5y

MOST of us get it.
But not all of us.
The quantity of supposedly smart blue checkmark pundit/reporter-activist types on Twitter who didn't get your point here is … terrifying.

So should trolls on Twitter.
And speaking of trolls.
This coming from a human satire personified.

What’s really scary is these folks think they’re the smart ones.
You have got to be kidding me. But you’re not.

Same thing tRUmp looks for in a Senator.

HURR DURR TRUUUUUUMP.
Um. This IS parody.
— RJ Lavallee (@documentarian) February 15, 2021
No sh*t.
Oh, and in case there’s still some yahoo out there claiming Ted doesn’t know The Babylon Bee is satire:
When I read this headline, I thought it was @TheBabylonBee
Sadly, no. It’s real. Just another manifestation of the blinding hatred on the Left, heaping contempt on half the country.
We can do better. https://t.co/4CdGGNE9X3

Ted freaks the Left out ALMOST as much as Trump.
Almost.
