I just like how tongue-in-cheek over-the-top it is -- it doesn't even try to spin a realistic scenario, it just goes for the ridiculous exaggeration knowing that you'll know it's exaggeration -- but of course at the same time it's employing the time-honored tool of satire for political purposes.
Isn't it nice when a political organization doesn't treat its target audience as brainless morons?
