The problem with satirizing the left is that they have no sense of humor. What's written that makes us laugh ironically, they see as a step-by-step plan for the next phase of their efforts.
Considering their plan is the complete and utter destruction of western civilization so they can rebuild it again in their own image (see Michel Foucault -- a stupid plan if ever there was one), you may be right. However, satire is a powerful weapon and if we can ridicule the left into utter irrelevance, I'm all for it. Heaven knows, they provide us with enough ammo.

Dear Antoninus,
Satire is a powerful tool, when the targeted audience understands that someone is being mocked.
However, if you were to write a short treatment with the satirical premise of how unjustly maligned were Nero and Caligula, and send it to Hollywood, it might become the basis for a rather serious dramatic made-for-TV movie, with the straightforward premise of how unjustly maligned were Nero and Caligula.
Satire IS powerful. And dangerous. Especially in the hands of imbeciles.
