Humour gets in the way of seeing or telling it like it is. To our detriment.
Comedy distracts.

'Donald Trump wants to be a dictator. It’s not enough just to laugh at him'

'...the laughter gets in the way. So we snigger at Ivanka Trump ludicrously barging her way into a powwow of world leaders, making a meme of #uninvitedIvanka, rather than confronting head-on the reality that Trump is doing what dictators always do: he’s building a hereditary dynasty, so that his power won’t end with his death. Those images at the G20 looked absurd to us, but they will take their place in the showreel, so that, come the 2024 or 2028 elections, they can be used as proof of Ivanka’s supposed experience on the global stage.'

There's more in this excellent article with its sobering other image framing the 4th July.
The suicidal 4yr old, traumatised and caged, separated from parents in a detention camp, face covered in self-inflicted scratches.
Guess that won't be shown as part of Trump's family business.
