      If you go to their site this is definitely the exception and not the rule. The rest of the articles today are bashing Zelensky.

      Right wingers are starting to act non/anti-christian more prominently from power, it seems. So Babylon bee has material from the right to make fun of. Or maybe not, it kind of always existed, now thinking.

          This is exactly what it is. Seth Dillon was also the guy who recruited the Libs of TikTok lady, if memory serves.
