And as to his opposition, are people simply afraid? Is that why none of the best comedians do college tours anymore? Is that why late night TV has become such a humorless, formulaic wasteland? We live in an age where organizations fact-check satirical websites with a straight face. What has happened to us as a people? Cops are fleeing the onslaught of Woke Supremacists, and nobody seems to be laughing?
