What self-respecting satirist would agree to act as a paid agent of any political movement?
What we have here are not independent-minded comics but tame court jesters.
I wish President Trump could force them to wear motley as a requirement to be allowed into White House press conferences.
The best comics always have some antiestablishment tendencies, after all, they usually start out as the class clown making fun of the teacher, who embodies the adult establishment to all their fellow kids. This is why leftie comics aren’t very funny anymore. The left IS the establishment now! Suddenly they have become the teacher’s pet, and the teacher’s pet doesn’t get laughs.
