I genuinely don't know how they plan to make a parody of InfoWars that will not be indistinguishable from the original thing.
The funniest thing to do would be to turn it into either a legitimate leftist new site or a leftist themed nujob conspiracy mill (though I don't know how that would work).
"The rich intentionally causing global warming to make people have to use cars"
Bingo. Slowly turn them onto each other…
