You can source satire as a basis for resistance, while criticizing the use of humor as a means of resistance. Pick a side of your own argument to be on.
“Here’s an Onion article” isn’t a response to what I said. Most Americans also don’t like the situation we’re in. We agree with you on that point. But “I don’t like this version of events and you people are disgusting for letting it happen” is a pointless observation when nobody has laid out an actual plan that could change things more than what’s being done.
I ask again. What do you propose we should be doing instead?
Oh it’s a pretty valid response to the same old tired nonsense bandied about “Oh don’t do anything, it might make Trump do something whilst ignoring that he hasn’t needed one single excuse to date to achieve all that he has. At this point Im starting to think people still saying that are right wing astro-turfers.
And I ask that you fight and use the only language that fascists understand. A stupid fucking costume and social media clout wasn’t what was required to stop the Nazis.

Sorry, are you a fascist?
Why would I object to humour being ‘used’ on you? Because my issue is using it on fascists instead of bullets.
