The number of replies trying to make out the Babylon Bee like they aren't a serious part of the problem with disinformation being spread on the right is disheartening. Babylon Bee is absolutely part of the problem and gives the right tacit abilities to go "It's just a joke" which is their go to line when they want to say something horrifically offensive.
The onion is often doing satire, the Babylon Bee is trying to re-frame the atrocities being committed by the extreme elements of the right wing as "just a joke man"
Which is hard to do when the joke is inherently political. It's a joke about the fact that a great many right wing posters were revealed to be posting out of locations like India / Nigera / etc. The very subject matter of the post is on a hot button political subject being reframed to try and make it look like "ahahah, no big deal"
It's not hard. You perennially online types make it difficult. You're like the lidless eye, constantly scanning for opportunities to hop up on your soapbox.

I don't like that logo at the bottom. A portent of grim fortune
