    If this really works on conservatives then I think I may of underestimated how dumb they actually are.

    They always say you must never underestimate your enemy. Unfortunately conservatives keep making me think I’m the crazy one. I always think this must be a small group of extremists, this can’t be the the entire conservative party? But then I go anywhere in the U.S. and sit in a lobby, and there it is Fox Entertainment News on every screen, yep… ahhh… yeah… they’re all crazy.

        Nah, this is satire that even conservatives would struggle to miss.

        I feel like this statement is enough in question that I’d want to put it through some kind of quasi-empirical test before making the claim.

        If we can ditch the Toilet Paper USA logo (maybe put the real Turning Point logo on it) and spread it around some conservative internet spaces, and record the responses, we might be able to find out for sure. But my hypothesis is that conservatives, as a general rule, are incapable of recognizing satire or parody.

      I’m pretty sure this is satire and that most conservatives would see it as such. However this is the internet so in such a huge audience, I’m sure that there are still a few in there who will take it seriously.
