I miss any humor in her appealing, in full republican regalia, to "my fellow Chinese Americans for Trump, and people of color for Trump, to vote for Trump on Wednesday, November 9th."
Is the humor that "wink wink, these idiot C-A Trump voters are so off-the-boat clueless that they might just believe this misinformation. ha, ha. After all if they're so brainless as to vote for that guy, they'll believe anything, yuck, yuck, what dummies!" ?
Or is it, "See, clever me, what I'm doing here -- in my gd brilliant postmodern manner -- is to simultaneously convey election disinformation while hiding behind a fig leaf defense of cutting edge parody of a clueless Trump voter, yuck yuck, they'll never be able to say a word, cause I have poc privilege and everyone knows it, jokes on them, aren't I just so cool" ?
Or...? I'm really struggling to see the comedy, so do let me know.
- anigbrowl 3y agoNo, I don't think you are really struggling. I think you're just choosing to ignore the clearly stated context and keep repeating your original point in increasingly whiny language.
- tatrajim 3y ago"The clearly stated context?" Surely, it's her own words, in her own voice: "Hey everybody, this is Kristina Wong. I'm coming out, I'm a Trump supporter. I just want to remind all my fellow Chinese Americans for Trump, and people of color for Trump, to vote for Trump on Wednesday, November 9th." You claimed: "virtually all her tweets are jokes is the context'. I asked you to explain the joke in this case and provided two plausible possibilities, both of which I did not find to be comedic but merely sarcastically contemptuous, and asked your own explanation lest I had missed something. You chose to evade my simple request. Still waiting. Surely explaining something as transparent as a tweet's humorous thrust should be easy?
