Whod'a thunk?

That that ones who'd take center stage in America's struggle against MAGA'S fascist assault upon FREE SPEECH (while hypocriticaly canonizing someone they CLAIM was a champion of such), would not be politicians, nor journalists,

nor the MSM... nor ballplayers, nor socialite celebrities, nor the clergy, nor corporate America,

nor musicians (though there certainly are SOME from among all of these categories who've tried)...

but rather, COMEDIANS, who, because of efforts to silence criticism of Trump and MAGA, even via comedy and satire, have been thrust to the forefront of what may well be, at long last, a great awakening.

Maybe America may benefit from sending a comedian to the Oval Office instead of a CLOWN.
