Perhaps The Root author should attempt to actually *get* the satire before spouting off about a Democratic ally. Fey clearly states it's something many women in her circle have done once a week since the election. I've done it! Hell, last week I was so sad/angry about Charlottesville that I devoured a bag of Pepperidge Farm Snickerdoodles slathered in canned cream cheese frosting... and I didn't bother with a plate! It doesn't mean that we're not doing anything else, and why The Root author seems to assume that is beyond me.
Fey called out Nazis, Klansmen, mistreated Native Americans, "Donnie Johnnie," inept Paul Ryan, Ann Coulter/Yard Sale Barbie, slave-owning Thomas Jefferson, gun culture, independent militias, etc. I agreed with her about *almost* wanting the man-boys to protest in NYC to have the shit kicked out of them, but in the end agreed about no violence. She closed with stay home and "let the morons scream into the empty air." But just before that she pointed out that folks choose to stay home rather than see a "thoughtful movie with two female leads" (or something to that effect). There it is.
Not bloody likely! Trump (and Sarah Palin) voters are not going to listen to some "wealthy NY liberal celebrity."
Ridiculous piece.
