It's was all good, as he was just pretending to be a fascist. Just a joke bro.
Later during the exit polls he revealed: "Nah bruh, I didn't vote for Trump, it was just my character, Jake Byrd, who checked his name on the ballot."
“political satirists are literally equivalent to voter fraud”
yikes buddy hope you can recover from that strange worldview
Where'd you pull voter fraud from? The idea is he's rationalizing making the situation worse to his audience, but voted under his actual name. When your satire is fully indistinguishable without having to be told, it's shit satire.
Or maybe... It is the realization that we exist in such a sad state of affairs, that an absurdist performance is nearly indistinguishable from the legitimate politics of a non-negligible voting bloc.
