How ?

because the satire has become indistinguishable from the real behaviours of the demented left. Who can fucking tell anymore if anything that comes out of the left is straight up, or a joke?

If you wait a year, even babylon bee's satire becomes legitimate.

That's been their line for years now. Basically as soon as FB brought in "trusted flagging partners", Snopes tagged a bunch of Babylon Bee jokes as misinformation and actually defended it. Of course back then (this was late 2017, early 2018) FB framed it as a "mistake" so Snopes, despite being off the hook for it, insisted that non-left satire is violent disinformation to Buzzfeed.
