Sometimes I think there's no way someone could miss how sarcastic I'm being. And yet every time I'm proved wrong.

Sarcasm doesn't work online if someone could say the exact same sentence in seriousness

The problem is that there are people who are stupid enough to actually have the opinions you are trying to sarcastically show.

They also tend to be the loud ones who will post everywhere, so it's far more likely that a really stupid opinion is real than sarcastic.

Corrected.

You gotta throw in the /s

Tone doesn't carry well over text.

Who needs tone to detect sarcasm?

People who read what trump and his America-hating followers say.

insulting someone isnt satire its just an insult

Normally I would agree but the brutality and whiplash like nature of the comment definitely has some dark humor to it. I was thrown off at first till I realized the context of them roleplaying as "Brandon" from the image. It's crass, but checks out as an attempt for me. Then again, I applaud people who are willing to be downvoted for a good well-hidden joke (the whole woosh thing).

I hope John the Apostle will forgive me.
