accomplishes nothing while confusing low-information voters who don’t understand he’s satirizing the president.
“low information voter” is a term that clues me in that the author isn’t worth reading. Almost as bad as the term “woke”. The first time I ever heard the phrase was Rush Limbaugh and he was explicitly referring to black voters supporting Democrats.
And while I’m sure a non-racist might use it in a sentence. It’s still the anti-democratic ideal that some people should be excluded from voting.
If you think that suffrage belongs only to the “deserving”, instead of the universal right of everyone subject to political leadership, then you don’t believe in democracy.
The label “low information voter” does not imply they should be excluded. It just recognizes they’re uninformed. Which is important if we’re to do anything about it.

People are swimming in too much information that is garbage. What people mean to say is “misinformed voters”.
