Yet again if this was parody it would be decried as too heavy handed

comrade if ameriKKKa in general was parody it would be decried as too heavy handed. everything about this shit hole fucking sucks and is a complete farce. there isn’t a single aspect of life here that you can’t look at and say “if someone wrote this then they would be criticized for lack of nuance”

I’m just gonna resign from making up bits because reality is becoming impossible to parody.

Making parody of reality would be making it “normal” at this point.

In 5 years, there needs to be a brave sitcom made about a person just going around and experiencing “normal” things. Set in 2007, “Normal Things” will be the parody that catches the zeitgeist in a way that previous attempts failed.

Instead of being a serious documentary, it will be a serious comedy.

No laugh track, wisecracks or gags.

The sheer absurdity of it will be divisive, many will simply not get it.

But it will be a bold statement on the reality of daily life, winning a Tony for its stage interpretation, and the lead actor becoming a meme in the format of the new little stickers (that move!) smartphone chat apps let you attach in response to messages.

Thanks for listening to my elevator pitch.

Just make up incredibly mundane bits about every day life. Garisson Keillor made a living off of this.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

the democracy now video posted her yesterday was from in front of her, saw the guy swatting with the sign, he knocks the banner out of her hands with it at some point, and moves down to yank it away

one of the ushers keeps telling the crowd in front of the sign to hold their “we ❤️ joe” signs up to block out the Palestine support banner, and another usher holds an upside-down USA sign in front of the camera as much as he can

this is a new angle, couldn’t see the guy smacking her about the head from the other one
