Madam President: The enormous challenge facing ‘Saturday Night Live’ in Trump’s America — and the woman best equipped to satirize without softening - Figuring out how to tackle Trump must feel like a particularly fraught decision for SNL. He ran a campaign that was simultaneously rife with comedic material — never forget that he brought up a years-old beef with Rosie O’Donnell unsolicited in the closing minutes of a presidential debate — and deadly fucking unfunny. For the better part of two years, Trump cynically and deliberately riled up his supporters with messages of belittlement and bigotry. He is currently cobbling together a frightening assemblage of ghoulish, paranoid cast-offs to run the country in his stead.

But they aren’t angry because they’re poor; they’re angry because they are white and poor—and that's not the American dream. - This is what we are seeing with “white working class” Trump voters. They hope that by voting against justice—by denying the urgency of racial equity in education and health care and housing and employment needed to shatter the framework of a country built on the subjugation and murders of black, Latinx and indigenous people—that they will be more closely aligned with the wealthy white people they yearn to be. They hope that by deporting immigrants from this country—something that Democrats know a thing or two about as well—they won’t have to face job competition and their own mediocrity.
