The actual article this is parodying is every bit as bad as the parody, just less porn-adjacent.
(As an aside, I died a little inside transcribing the article name for the Alt text.)
A screencap from the New York Times opinion column reading: "Interesting Times with Ross Douthat" "Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?"

"Picture a gelatinous homunculus, stitched together from fast food wrappers and late-night infomercial regrets, wobbling through history like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man after a three-day bender in a gold-plated porta-john."
Why does that sound kinda familiar...

Image of a social media post saying: "All it takes to get Universal Healthcare, is convincing Americans that paying $2000 in taxes is better than paying $8000 in Health Insurance. "It literally boils down to enough Americans understanding that the number 2 is smaller than the number 8. "Every other country has already figured this out." (The last paragraph is in a font twice the size of the other two.)

Do what you can, but remember that in the face of all MAGA's hate, every day we survive is a victory all its own.

Xeet by @Lindss_tastic saying: Resistance is NOT a one lane highway. Maybe your lane is protesting, maybe your lane is organizing, maybe your lane is art activism, maybe your lane is surviving the day. Do NOT feel guilty for not occupying every lane. We need all of them.

Whoa.
I just went from a little shy of 400 followers to over 500 in a single day.
This is great, but there was no sudden rush of corresponding post reactions or anything. WTF just happened?

It's also important to remember that Nuremberg made "just following orders" famous as not being a valid justification.

I will have more to say about the San Bernardino rally later. For now, I just have this: it was a blast, the atmosphere was joyful and hopeful, and our 14(!) year old organizer is the future of America.

And one for the superhero fans:
Captain America saying: "Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: sand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- no, you move."

If you're more upset about progressives saying "we told you so" than what Trump is actually doing, you might be the problem.

Hunter S. Thompson's last words about Richard Nixon are so on target for the Orange Skull, they're worth repeating:
www.goodreads.com/quotes/87111...
"Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism—which is true, but they miss the point. It was the built-in blind spots of the Objective rules and dogma that allowed Nixon to slither into the White House in the first place." ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing at Rolling Stone

More than anything else, this quote from Hunter S. Thompson about Richard Freakin' Nixon seems like the best analysis of the problem with using Objective Journalism(tm) on Donald Trump:
