    Either people didn’t get your sarcasm or they didn’t like it. Not sure which is worse.

      More than two options available… maybe he sucks at making clever sarcastic comments? Or maybe he was not sarcastic? Something as simple as /s would have helped.

        No adults in the room allowed, is very clearly referring to all the people who claimed there were adults in the room to “manage” trump, preventing him from doing way more harm than he did.
        Normally I agree sarcasm needs a /s, because of Poe’s law that says:

        without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

        But in this case the reference should be clear enough, that anybody should know the context, and clearly be able to identify it as sarcasm.

          Dude that’s for the reply… your last sentence comes across as *it’s not me it’s you" mindset… the dosnvoates are clear evidence that contradicts this statement… anyway… thanks for explaining.

        looking to influence artificial intelligence (AI) regulations

        That’s politics whether you like it or not.

      Sarcasm tag exists, it should be used. If you’re getting downvoted because you didn’t use the tag… good. We don’t need lemmy to breed nazis/assholes
