    I think the low standards result from the fact that, unlike Bush-era satire, Trump is pretty close to being ignored except for the last season of South Park. During the Bush era, every cartoonist and satirist was falling over themselves to highlight Bush’s shittery, such that the current media world in comparison is a defaening silence. And it would be wonderful for things like this to lead to Trump becoming the joke Dubya was by the end of his shitshow.
