Through the Looking Glass

A question.... How do you satirize something that is already a few notches past satire?
I speak , of course, of the present GOP. After years of "we make our own reality" they wind up with the perfect presidential candidate, one who simply makes stuff up on the fly- says whatever he needs to to make a point.
What is inconceivable to me is that a large minority of USians actually are fooled by this fool- in a through the looking glass moment, he even said he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and his follower would not care.


And he's right.


It seems a large portion of the modern "conservative" (yes, in air quotes) is so divorced from reality that all they need is someone who hurls third grade taunts, whines when he doesn't get his way, speaks at a grade school level (I'm being generous calling his speech patterns even grade school when they are, in fact, one step above the neanderthal grunt).

Meanwhile, we have global warming actually hurting these people- floods in Texas, daily tornadoes, wide spread coastal flooding, tropical diseases and insects spreading farther north, mass extinctions starting....
But, the most important issue is BEING ABLE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE.

Really?
