Alinsky Rule 5:

Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is hard to defend against satire or mockery because it exposes opponents to irrational discomfort.

Good rule. Politics and fun is a potent mixture, the kind that Dems no longer know how to make.

Back in the day, a fascist propagandist who spoke perfect English was known as Lord Haw Haw. Spike Jones went Pthpth! Pthpth! right in the furor’s face. And my first paid writing appeared in a now defunct magazine dedicated to making fun of leftists and the Clintons, Slick Times, Michael Dalton Johnson, publisher. And there was Rush, with Talent on Loan from G-d.
