They make themselves ridiculous as they try to kill comedy. ‘A transgender weightlifter and a horse walk into a bar . . .” “That’s not funny!” Welcome to the wonderful world of woke comedy. And it’s not as if they say it with the indulgent attitude your mother used to have—when she knew it was inappropriate but was kind of amused anyway. No, these people are not joking. They’ll kill your career, get your children to turn on you, dredge up your every purported misstep, and make sure all of it goes on your permanent record. We’re talking a mentality that blacklisted the “Seinfeld” episode in which Kramer stomps on the Puerto Rican flag to put out the fire he’s set with a sparkler, and forced HBO to saddle “Blazing Saddles” with a dreary three-minute introductory spiel by an academic explaining to the unwary—i.e., idiots—that “racist language and attitudes pervade the film. But those attitudes are espoused by characters who are portrayed here as explicitly small-minded, ignorant bigots.” No wonder that even non-edgy comedians like Jerry Seinfeld won’t go anywhere near a college campus. In a remarkable turnabout, today’s students have all the live-and-let-live joie de vivre of Dean Wormer from “Animal House.” ...Progressives have been getting away with comic murder for quite a while now, not only being unfunny, but also—through their dominance of entertainment and especially social media—empowering themselves to dictate what others should be allowed to find funny. Nowhere is this more evident than in political humor. Whereas progressive internet snark-meister ...

NO!
Only their trials, convictions, and sentences to be publicly hanged will defeat the Left (Demonicrats, enemedia, civilian and military DeepStaters).
The one that I really had hoped would stick would have been to associate the hash tag with Nazi symbology. That would have killed twitter.
That might be an effective action to take.
Make them watch blazing saddles without the warning,...And watch their heads explode.
“blazing saddles without the warning,...”..

There is more humor here on Free Republic than in your typical comedy show these days.
The piece is a rationalization of a coward that will not fight
He takes refuge in his lie
They have no humor because they sold their souls to the Devil.
RINO-controlled state legislatures handed the Steal to Potato Joe on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID because of their petty hatred of Trump.
If we purge these RINO traitors in the 2022 primaries, then come 2024, those same state legislatures will be dominated by conservatives, who will not allow the 2020 fraud to be repeated -- and if there is fraud, there will be forensic audits BEFORE electors are seated.
Purge the RINOs and the Left will be defeated.
Actually I think the Rats are a big joke. Especially Joek.
Youre business is hereby ordered closed until you can prove vaccination.

Hmmm....that didnt seem to work.
That’s a great plan if we last that long.
A newspaper that I had faithfully subscribed to (mostly delivered to my house in newspaper form) for almost three decades of my life. I used to always look forward to reading it and I'm sure it added at least a half million dollars to my net worth as due to what I read there, I shifted much of my portfolio to the tech sector back when not everybody had a computer at home - much less a smartphone or even an internet connection.
But they went "woke" a few years back so I finally gave them up. Looks like this was a good column though.
Authoritarian Leftists are Neo Puritans. They’re just so easy and fun to mock.
I would prefer to treat them with fear, sarcasm, and ridicule.
Followed by tar, feathers, and stoning.
Then burning and launching of the wretched ashes into the sun.
Whew, glad that’s off my chest.
I’ll get a fire started.
The fall of the WSJ was when the Bancroft family cashed out to News Corp.
A couple of years late for this.
They’re going for the kill now.
I might disagree with you here, hopefully in an agreeable manner. Leftist regimes thrive on opposition. Your solution of trials, convictions, sentences and public hangings would only serve to produce for them Martyrs. More George Floyds and Che Guevara’s for them to parade around. We are too quick to take up arms against these fascists.
The Second World War was a battle against Leftist new world types. These are the ones who feel like they must rule the world to bring order and peace by violent means. That’s what will need to happen should the leftists succeed in their quest. We will be at the point where our choice is to fight and die or live as slaves. The leftist mob cannot tolerate dissent of any measure. Especially they cannot tolerate ridicule or mockery. Simply because their positions are indefensible in the marketplace of ideas.
If we are to avoid the fate of the damned then it will be as a result of ridiculing them. Mocking them to the point where people cannot help but to laugh them out of the room when their stupid ideas are posted.
