Or it may be because the people and groups they made fun of over the years have clowned themselves by doing the very thing they were mocked for. "NotTheBee" exists for a good reason.

Also how being ridiculed for falling for a satire article not instructive about checking sources? It's not like The Bee is an obscure propaganda state operated website.

NotTheBee is even scarier glimpse into their psyche:

https://notthebee.com/

Is that an official sister site?

Apparently so:

> Not the Bee is a humor-based news, opinion, and entertainment site from the creators of The Babylon Bee and Disrn. Like the name suggests, it'll feature some absurd and hilarious (but real) news that seems like it should definitely be satire.

Hmm, this actually explains a lot about their jokes:

> Yes ladies and gentlemen, abortion is now illegal in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, so Planned Parenthood is on the move, literally driving their RV along the Illinois border looking for babies to kill.

...

> These people will do anything to get their hands on a preborn child

Was this parody or an actual opinion?

It is no secret that the Bee has a conservative take on their satire pieces.

Armchair psychoanalysis based on a single political opinion, in this case abortion, is simply sloppy. Just because you and I don't agree with them don't make them "deranged" or "dangerous".

The fact that you base presumably serious opinion on their psyche, implying they are "dangerous" is more telling about your way of thinking than theirs.
