JSTORDaily article by Sophia McClennen, author of Trump Was a Joke, on satirising him during his election campaign. "Part of what satire tends to do is reframe faulty logic and false narratives, but then when the narrative is not just a false narrative but an absolutely inane narrative, it gives you very little room to reveal its absurdity through absurdity." Could apply to quite a few UK politicians and suchlike. #Trump #satire #USApolitics #USAmedia

This article’s headline confuses centrism with splitting the difference between the two dominant parties. #falsePremise #USAMedia #USAPolitics
