What’s so brave about it, Shaun? People have been saying this ever since he came into office.

Presumably this is a joke.

I think Shaun is joking, but Alyssa Milano isn't

Yeah, you're right. It actually took reading your comment to realize this.

Fifteen years ago, this type of sarcasm was obvious on-sight to my under-developed brain while trolling odd message boards.

Today, I am amazed that I misread this and even, at times, The Bee and other satire headlines at face value before seeing the source.

But then again, when I actually do question absurdity, it ends up actually being true. Shrug. 🤡🌎

I think when we're younger we just think we're good at spotting sarcasm because we're so confident in our world view. But in reality as we age we see the many shades of gray and how ambiguous many things really are, and how many different opinions people truly hold. I think that's what makes it so hard. It's not that our abilities have gotten worse, but actually that they've gotten better. We understand a broader variety of perspectives, so we can empathize with all the various viewpoints more easily.
