The image shows a post with a satire flair and the post title gives the impression that OP took that satire to be genuine. That is where the confusion is coming from. It is unclear if anyone actually said what the satire post is claiming, even as a joke.
Was this post on r/Conservative made thinking it was legitimate, and only later flaired as satire? Was it marked as satire from the get go? What is the intent of this post? What are we getting at here? There isn’t enough context, this isn’t clear.

Have you considered that the original comment was “sarcasm”? They are clearly aware that the image is flaired as satire.
It makes the title of this post you’re kvetching in nonsensical because there is nothing truly objectionable in the image and thus no need for this post about how “people wouldn’t have gotten away with saying something like this before”. Because nothing was really said.
