SNL Goes Full-Blown Woke

Once upon a time comedy was meant to make you laugh by poking fun at real life things. Things that may offend, and while most people laughed it off, it has become blasphemy to even consider talking about such things in today’s woke society. “Wokeness” has started to creep into the world by extreme Leftists, and real comedy has become a thing of the past.

Saturday Night Live is a prime example, and if you thought it couldn’t get anymore woke, think again.

The show added its first ever nonbinary cast member to the lineup who will make regular appearances every weekend.

Actor Molly Kearney will join SNL for its 48th season, meaning it’s time to say goodbye to the show we once knew.

Kearney rejects the gender “binary” and does not identify as a man nor a woman, but instead opts for gender-neutral pronouns instead.

This comes after a mass exodus of actors who were longtime characters on the show left. Kate McKinnon, Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney have all decided to move on, however it is unclear why they decided to go.

From Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump to Jim Carey’s Joe Biden, almost every show has someone impersonating a political figure, usually aimed at bashing the Right.

The humorous premise of the “Pat” skits were the other characters trying to determine Pat’s gender without offending Pat by asking questions but getting ambiguous answers.

A Pat skit wouldn’t work today because the other characters would simply ask Pat for their preferred pronouns…

“...The show has been a vehicle for leftist indoctrination and societal decay since its first episode...”

Yes, it has been a vehicle for leftist indoctrination. But like Norman Lear was upset that Archie Bunker was popular and many liked his wisdom, some SNL skits had contra currents. There were some who liked SNL’s “Ex-Police” bashing drug users to death and then saying, “Another drug-related death”. But there were always lots of sewer in SNL for every funny skit.

Have you ever seen a more smug and self-satisfied look?

Nonbinary, eh? Does that mean all the Pat skits have to be destroyed because they are the equivalent of black face, right?

I also think of the Reagan “Mastermind” sketch, it was supposed to portray Reagan as knowing everything about Iran-Contra, while appearing to be a doddering old man, to the outside world.

Wouldn’t “Pat” qualify today as a “non-binary”?

A rehash...I guess no one remembers Julia Sweeny’s “pat”. Which managed to be funny and thought provoking.

Humour is a white, hetro-normitive construct to suppress the GBQT and support cis white supremacists.

You will watch and get indoctrinated.

I remember, the Reagan character giving short shrift to a White House visit by Jimmy Stewart so Reagan could get back to running his contra schemes.

That headline makes no sense but it does let one know to not bother reading further.
