I was just listening to a podcast describing a Trump voter focus group who were “shy” about admitting they voted for him until they saw other people raise their hands first. This was presented as “isn’t it awful that people are shamed for their votes” and no, it’s not.

I hope some comedian or something has done a bit like "hey c'mon there's no need to be shy, who voted for him, I'll admit it first" and then when the audience raises their hands they're like "lol trap sprung you fucking nazis"

Sasha Baron Cohen basically made a living off doing that with his Borat character

Yeah I don't think he really thought through the fact that it is a real place with a mostly Muslim population

I'm not really a fan of Borat, it's the kind of trolling/shitposting "satire" where a lot of the time it's hard to say who the joke is supposed to be on

Like it's him being the one who's actually being racist and making up a caricature of a grotesque foreigner and then laughing that random people come off as "racist" when interacting with him

The thing where he's staying in a fancy B&B and he offers the lady a bag of his poop as a gift and she graciously shows him how to use a flush toilet You get the sense you're supposed to be laughing at her but it's just him being an asshole

And the trolling really does dilute the satire Like the famous "Kazakhstan national anthem" thing almost led to violence not because they were "racist against Kazakhs" but because they accurately perceived he was trolling them
