If the Trumpanzes send dozens of hate comments in the first hour, do we take it a sign of success?

The next joint cooperation between the Parody Project and The Freedom Toast just got completed.

"Dumb Down" to the tune of "Downtown." (Will be cross-posted to the video forum)

This video has already garnered dozens of hate mail messages from the radical right. Feel free to add a few of support if you are so inclined!

the Brits do such a good job rendering their politicians "naked to the world", this seems an ideal choice for the parody.

Just never got around to a video. The video was done by the Parody Project, and they edited it a little. Still, the lip synching was masterful.

My hat’s off to the collaborators who came up with Dumb Down. It’s nice to know there’s something out there to cause the Trumpies to squirm because it’s out there in a music genre they can’t ignore like hip-hop or metal. It looks like they hit the target.
