LiverpoolWiz<p>JSTORDaily article by Sophia McClennen, author of Trump Was a Joke, on satirising him during his election campaign. "Part of what satire tends to do is reframe faulty logic and false narratives, but then when the narrative is not just a false narrative but an absolutely inane narrative, it gives you very little room to reveal its absurdity through absurdity." Could apply to quite a few UK politicians and suchlike. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/satire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>satire</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/USApolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USApolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/USAmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USAmedia</span></a></p>
