Why do people not recognize it as satire because it's not that far off of the truth.

No one said that, drama queen. They are out for increased control of our lives and for marching us closer to socialism.
But please dems, feel free to come get me as the drama queen stated.

Babylon bee is a Christian version of the Onion. But the article does cut quite close to the truth.

68% of guns owned by Baws - rest owned by some combination of gender progressives.
Add 90% of military are Baws and it would not be close.

It’s not.
But the first replies certainly thought so.
One to the point of reopening a narrative about headed to a civil war.
For fricks sake people......

He’s been increasingly political lately which I don’t love, even if he definitely bends my way.
That being said, I think the third trimester abortion stuff set him off. He’s always made fun of Trump and dumb republicans faking Christianity but more of his stuff was aimed at Joel Olsteen and church memes.
He’s been coming pretty hard against leftism as of late though.

Well, it really isn't that much worse of a contract than the one the Angels gave Pujoles so I could see where people would believe it.

They're stupid. But they aren't that stupid. Not yet anyway. Though this article could prove to be prophetic when the primaries roll around.
They are not stupid enough to say it just that way - but that is precisely what every g'dam one of them thinks.

You do know what the solution is right?
DONT GET RILED UP ABOUT EVERY frickING LITTLE THING YOU READ!
You ever been close to an event that got national press? Ever notice how far off the truth they get sometimes? And I’m talking about top flight, reputable organizations here.
So why do people (and I’m referring to some here) fly off the rails on their mini crusades based off of what some joe Blow said on a message board. I bet if you just typed that shite up and linked Google just to have a link, the initial replies would have been the same.
Here’s a novel concept: you can’t double check everything, but you can validate the topics you want to vocally comment upon.

Let them rage. The Founding Fathers were wise. They had broken the shackles that subjected them to tyranny and they understood all too well the tendency to revert back to that failed system. So they made it hard to overturn the provisions of the U. S. Constitution, including the Electoral College. Now these clowns want to lead us back to tyranny.
My suggestion to democrats? Start by halting the infanticide and reaffirm the right of the citizenry to bare arms. That'll do for starters.
Remember this anti-constitutional democrats.......had the British been successful in capturing the colonist cache of weapons at Concord YOU just might be waiting on tables for the bluebloods.

Did you cry or literally shake while typing that?
It's satire. You're advocating for the banning of satire because you're too stupid to know the difference or simply read the article on your own.
Maybe do a little research instead of falling for a headline and then getting mad at the headline writer.

Reading the first two paragraphs you posted had me believing that Warren actually said this. Once I read the rest I knew it was satire and honestly relieved it was when I saw it was a Babylon Bee article.
By the third sentence, the satire was obvious to any reasonable person, regardless of whether the reader was familar with Babylon Bee. THAT is why the first few responses were comedy gold.

A number of Democrats have proposed changes to the structure of government that they think would help them win, such as lowering the voting age to 16, abolishing the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and changing how Senate seats are allocated. Now, though, some of the Democratic presidential hopefuls are attacking the heart of the matter: what they call an “outdated Constitution” that sometimes “allows Republicans to be elected.”
Satire only works when it is based in truth (like this).
