    That fat Aussie cunt? He’s either a great performer who is always in character, or a completely feckless gobshite.

      Wouldn’t be the first time conservatives fell for an absurd caricature (cf. Steven Colbert’s many, many conservative fans in the first few years of his show)

        If you don’t mind an off topic question, what does the “cf.” notation mean? I’ve seen it before but never had the chance to ask the author before my curiosity waned :)

          It’s not just over the top, a lot of it appears to be engagement bait where he sets himself up for people to dunk on him. Check out some of the tweets I’ve posted in this discussion.

          Maybe he is both serious about being a MAGA acolyte, but also playing an over-the-top character that gets him more attention, even if it’s just so people dunk on him.
