      Jeet Heer Retweeted Sarah Cooper

      1. Like everyone else, I love Sarah Cooper's Trump lip-sync feats. I think one reason they work is that they don't try to exaggerate Trump but rather to underscore the absurdity of his own words.https://twitter.com/sarahcpr/status/1253474772702429189 …

      2. An Alec Baldwin impersonation tries to parody Trump - but you can't parody a parody. Trump's own words are usually much greater gibberish than anything SNL writers come up with. So the effect of Baldwin is, in a strange way, to normalize Trump.

      3. The other normalization occurs in the briefings & media reports. Everyone around Trump is straightfaced even when he says whackadoodle things, thus normalizing him. And press quotes tend to tidy-up Trump's frequent wayward turns and incoherence.

          Tina Fey is brilliant & I completely agree with your statement. Fey just imitated Palin to illustrate her biggest weakness, which was & is, her stupidity. It destroyed her, which is why Sarah Cooper is exactly what we need.

          The thing is, you can’t quote him verbatim without seeming to insult him and being derided as biased and unfair, as his defenders will descend upon the messenger with “that’s clearly not what he meant” type defenses

          Why can't Bezos give Fauci 20mill a year for life if that the next time Trumpy say something crazy, he just get up smacks himself on the forehead and says 'That's it, I'm outta here'!

          I know there is an infinite amount of horrible/ridiculous things he's said/done but I just can't get past this: he thought maybe we could cure Covid-19 by shooting people with UV light or injecting disinfectant and he's still president. Why isn't this over? What else is left?

          .@senatemajldr would like to use Trump as a bludgeoning device for the next 5 years and force feed America unqualified cookie cutter judges with a 1950s conservative mindset. Don’t let him. Vote them out.
