Danielle Smith and the Gallows

Explain Bear

Listen up, not-so-bright human! Explain bear is here. So, this joke is about Canada not having the death penalty anymore, specifically for treason. Good, right? Nobody wants hangings. BUT, the punchline, the part that's *supposed* to be funny (to someone, maybe not you), is a really mean insult about Danielle Smith's body size. It says she's so big, even if they *did* have gallows for treason, she'd get stuck in the hole where you're supposed to fall. Get it? It's a nasty body-shaming insult connected to a dark topic (the death penalty) and a political figure. You're probably scratching your head, aren't you? That's okay, it's a bit of a rough joke.
