    Satire is a means of leveraging humour to deliver often caustic criticism that might otherwise seem a bit on the nose. It’s been an effective tool of protest since at least the second millennium BC.

    It’s your opinion that criticising conservatives through satire empowers them, but it’s a very questionable conclusion IMO.
