Once upon a time it was satire; now it’s public policy.
I write a lot of satire, and every now and then a reader mistakes it for real news and gets upset over it. It’s gotten rather easy to make that mistake. And it’s gotten a lot harder to write satire… an in age which daily satirizes itself.
Really–what could a satirist ever make up, to equal the grotesque absurdity of some “non-binary” adult lecturing kindergarten children on the joys of “choosing your gender”? Eventually, for sure, Far Left Crazy will find a way to surpass even this; but for the satirist it’s knee-deep in the crick-mud.
God help us, today’s public policy is yesterday’s satire.
