Nope, you can’t take something that’s already exaggerated past the point of self-parody and then parody it.

Why?

And what exactly is past self-parody? What comes after that? (Besides 'plaid'.)

Because you can't exaggerate something to make it ridiculous when it's already so ridiculous.

Bad faith communicators like him already take their outrageous rhetoric and false conclusions farther than any funny parody would, effectively making them impossible to humorously satirize.

Please do tell us more about how racism is solved and not an issue anyone would genuinely think needs to be addressed.

I never claimed any such thing, nor would I ever. Do you ever say anything that's NOT about a ridiculous strawman you concocted in your mostly empty head?

And note the "already exaggerated past the point of self-parody" their entire point is in fact exactly that anti-racists are nothing but self aggrandizing attention seekers.
