You need to look at the context.
This is the “political jab”:
Out of context, it’s just a plain and simple political jab. But it’s actually a reply to this:
So it’s actually a fairly clever riff on conspiracy and political types who go out of their way to bend everything to fit their skewed view of reality. If you think it’s just a simple political pot-shot then you’ve missed the entire point of it.
That is the part that I found funny.
But in the literal sense it is still a political pot-shot, which we don’t allow, regardless of whether it’s a joke or not. Hence the mod note.
If anyone took offense or thought I was endorsing a particular political view or pot-shot, I apologize. That was not intended.
