How do you parody a parody?
https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhun...e-n2498208

"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....

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?..."

I've long said it's almost impossible to parody the left.

So the reality = the left IS an SNL parody skit

Complete with lame jokes and bad actors.
