Every year, without fail, some conservative says, “Why doesn’t Saturday Night Live make fun of liberals the way they mock conservatives?” It makes sense on the surface; the show is hopelessly, and joylessly, liberal because it’s written by liberals, and they happen to be in a perpetual state of anger. But there’s another problem. Even if SNL wanted to mock liberals it would be nearly impossible to do. Not because there’s nothing to mock, it’s because they’ve actually become a parody of themselves, and it’s very difficult to parody a parody.

There isn’t an issue in the news that doesn’t have some band of left-wing mutants marching down the streets screeching some recycled 1960s chant of “Hey, hey, ho, ho! Something or other has got to go.” How do you parody that?

Democrats just nominated a rabid socialist over someone who was in line to be their leader in Congress, then the chairman of their party called her the future of it. The only way to parody that is to have a skit with Che Guevara as head of the DNC.

The mutant mob calling for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is one thing. It is also to be expected from those who despise the concept of borders and capitalism. But to have prominent members of Congress and possible presidential nominees publicly jump on board is beyond parody, it’s pandering from behind.

Saturday Night Live couldn’t mock a mockery like that if it wanted to, the real thing beats them to the punch at every turn.

By the time they could even think to write a sketch about how an immigrant from a war-torn hell hole like the Congo climbed the Statue of Liberty to protest enforcing immigration laws then praised former First Lady Michelle Obama while wearing a “white supremacy is terrorism” t-shirt, it actually happened in real life…on the 4th of July, no less.

This skit would cause normal people to ask questions, like if you think this country is so awful why would you choose come here? But the radical left are not normal people. They cheer and nod in unison like a series of bobble-head dolls on the dashboard of a car driving down a dirt road.

The Democratic Party has become their fringe. They are beyond parody.

Fringe is the edge of something attached to the center of something else, or at least it’s supposed to be. The Democratic Party has no center anymore. This, I suspect, came as a surprise even to its former leaders.

In 2016, the party really thought Hillary Clinton would win the nomination in a walk, but she barely won it in a stumble and the party needed to cheat to even do that. Socialist Bernie Sanders exposed just how far left the Democratic Party had gone and how large the fringe had become. The idea that Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be conservative enough to win the GOP nomination is a popular trope in liberal media circles because the party has “moved so far to the right.” But it is the Democrats who wouldn’t nominate someone like Bill Clinton. JFK would be chased out their convention if he simply tried to speak today. It’s not Republicans who’ve shifted to the right, Democrats have moved so far to the left that everything else seems like it ran away.

The American people are running away.
