    let’s see you become britain’s second female prime minister.

    EDIT : OK, I guess

    1. The joke that she was already britain’s nth female prime minister didn’t go well
    2. Theresa May was britain’s second female prime minister, truss was the third
    3. to be clear, she achieved nothing and to hell with her.

        the joke is "oh, you think you’re so much better than her? Let’s see you achieve the only achievement she has (becoming the third female british prime minister) when you can’t become the third of anything AGAIN.

        I guess it all got fumbled and was shit to begin with.

          Probably US Defaultism didn’t help. heh. I watch panelshows so I know a little more news than the average, but it still whooshed me.

          I think it wasn’t so much poorly done as just didn’t land quite well AND once anything gets a downvote or two, it snowballs. heh.

          Thank you for explaining. I may not be falling down laughing, but I am quite amused. <3

      My favourite joke was to refer to her as “Conservative party backbencher, Liz Truss” but after looking her up on Wikipedia, I see that she has since lost her seat, so even that doesn’t work.
