13. Satire?

I waited a while to respond. I apologize if I'm wrong, but it seems to me you got upset at being fact-checked.

You gave two responses. The first is that the misleading post doesn't hurt anybody unlike MAGA mistruths, which often do. True, but I don't think that's a good justification for a misleading post.

The second response (the link to pics comparing Trump's cabinet to a meeting of inmates in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" ) is apples to oranges. The Cuckoo's Nest post is obviously satire. It's funny. Nobody would take it for truth - nobody would think that that's really Trump's cabinet. The post I fact-checked, your OP, is not obviously satire. I posted the fact-check because several replies to the OP seemed to take it seriously as if it were true.

Bottom line: If you knew the OP was satire, you might have indicated so. Or, you could have responded to the replies of folks who appeared to think it was true telling them it was indeed satire. On the other hand, if you thought your OP was really a post from Trump, it's OK. I've seen that fake Trump post submitted here a few times and I've seen the fact-checks about it, so I fact-checked as a public service. I don't think less of people when they post misleading content. It's very easy to do in this world.
