      You should look up conservative “humor” some time, 98% of it is going after trans people, minorities, drug addicts, poor people, anyone they see as less then. You might find it really funny.

      Going after marginalized people isn’t the own you think it is.

          That would have a chance of being true only if fentanyl was a specifically American problem. Drug abuse is a problem in most free countries, and with some countries that are not free.

          Mocking drug addicts isn’t going after all of American society. Do you think Charlie Kirk was going after all of American society when he did the same thing?

          Its like trying to mock Europeans by doing racism against Roma people. Its not criticizing all of European society, you’re literally doing the same shit our conservatives do.

          When you mock the victims of a school shooting, you’re not criticizing all of American society or system that creates school shooters, you’re just being a reactionary piece of shit, and we have enough of those.

              That’s exactly the difference, because that would be focusing on the system victimizing the children, rather than mocking the children themselves for getting shot.

              Hell you could genuinely do the children getting shot as a satire of conservatives’ lack of response to school shootings, but that would be mocking conservatives, not the victims.

              Its not that any group is off limits, its the actual message can’t just be “haha <oppressed minority> bad”

              • Children scared for their lives living in fear is funny to you? You sicko don’t make fun of the victims!

                You’re just choosing arbitrarily what to take offense at. America’s self inflicted opiate problem is just as ridiculous as it’s self inflicted school shooting problem. Bringing it back to American political parties is missing the entire point. It’s America, not the Republicans threatening world order. It’s America’s obsession with capitalism that prevents them from fixing their problems.
