I'm debating posting another minirant about how we make fun of elected officials we can't stand. Because sometimes the way the people I agree with talk (on social media especially) gets under my skin and (IMO) makes us sound unreliable or possibly unhinged.
But I kinda feel like nobody cares; I did those dents about 'the media' and political parties and so on and they didn't prompt any discussion. Which perhaps is fine. But if genuinely nobody does care, it's probably not worth it.
And yes, partly I am also concerned that writing critiques about how we progressives talk has the unwanted side-effect of making people think that I'm actually a conservative.... Which I'm not, despite being a cowboy-hat-owning Texan.

What's wrong with using humor to cope with things we can't stand but can't currently change? Isn't that what humans do?
