Back to political advertising. Most of the bad messages are just predictable, boring, petty, and, if not outright false, intentionally misleading. The above, about a Facebook video purporting to advance the cause of Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott Wagner, is in a different category. Supposing you are a writer for one of the late-night comedians assigned to make fun of this shit. How do you satirize someone who has unconsciously performed an unanswerable self-exercise in that endeavor?
We're all living in Trumpland, where the facts are too outrageous to be exaggerated for comedic or satiric effect.
