Is mocking Donald no longer funny?

I voted, 'makes me uneasy,' because as foot3 says, too normalizing. Also, really people?--size of his hands, etc. is more compelling than nightmarish policies and record-breaking incompetence?? Or even legitimate character flaws, and, "he's orange" is what you have to say??

Reading comments, here, reminds me, I don't watch TV, so I really don't know what the volume or content of comedic enterprise is re: Trump, other than memes, and the FB highlight reel.

And whether 8 years, or "rest of our life," one thing is for sure: if you EVER supported him, I'll never be able to fully respect you, ever, ever again. I'd have to be a completely different person with unrecognizable values in order to make that untrue.
