Why does he have to? I doubt Greg Gutfeld’s comedy show on Fox attacks Trump much. And he would never accumulate the track record of Trudeau hitting both sides for that many decades.
But again, who says satirists should be even-handed? It’s this new notion over the last several years that everything should be absolutely fair which is making the extremes on both sides do even crazier things in the name of “justice” than ever before. The right is willing to support bigger and stupider and insulting lies because the other side lies – so now it’s even. And the left pulls their cancelling insanity in workplaces and schools for the same reason. But back to satire, why can’t it just be “This guy satirizes this stuff and that one satirizes other stuff?” If you want a counterpoint to “Doonesbury” read “Mallard Fillmore.” Does this make sense?
You and I seem pretty similar actually. There’s no question Trudeau is left-leaning. I guess I just don’t understand the notion of people expecting a satirist to be even-handed. Why should they be? And according to whom? What’s Trudeau supposed to do, hit liberals every other day of the week? Would that be even-handed enough? Greg Guttfeld’s comedy on Fox News isn’t even-handed. To him, Biden’s handling of Afghanistan is a bigger war crime than a sitting President lying about an election with no proof. I don’t see that as realistic so I don’t watch Guttfeld. To me, as long as one party holds on to and promotes such an obvious, damaging lie, they deserve to be satirized more than the other side anyway. Their behavior forces someone like me who considers himself in the middle to instead pick a side. And I’m on the side of flawed truth, not obvious lies.
Yes to all of your questions and other atrocities you’re too dim to come up with. Before you mock another’s intelligence, try not to support a liar whose lies are easily proven to be so. It just makes you doubley-dumb in most people’s eyes. Not that you care what others think because you’re a real man and all that nonsense.
“Rape is free – by definition” has got to be one of the greatest lol lines in comic strip history!
