Comrades, one of the best devices in the satirist's (and propagandist's) toolbox is the deft application of post hoc ergo propter hoc to falsely imply that one event caused another event. Although the device is a logical fallacy, it can have a humorous effect: here's a good example:
These two headlines were posted one day apart and have no relationship other than the name, "Rand Paul," but—when placed side-by-side—they evoke suspicion that the first event led to the second event even if it isn't true.
As we all know, the current Obama Biden Administration is not vengeful and its many Deep State thugs operatives would never engage in activities that violate their oaths of office or inflict harm on its political foes the people it is sworn to serve and protect.
So, Comrades, be careful when using post hoc ergo propter hoc lest you promote obviously valid reckless questions that foment suspicion about our criminally installed duly elected representatives or their partisan cronies appointed officials.
