It seems to me people have lost a sense of humor over politics & those comedians who are entrusted with that fail by being just as angry and working people into a frenzy. Nowadays people will laugh at the sacred & treat politics as a religion with no room for levity. The Bible calls it idolatry. Well enough of that, I’m going to watch some Dean Martin roasts on YouTube.
The loss of humor is really tragic. And those comedians who have kept a healthy sense of humor are often hounded off of college campuses or hedged about with trigger warnings, to keep them from making people laugh or think.
I wonder sometimes what Lenny Bruce would say to the anti-humor people of our day.
Yeah, it's so hard to lose friends because of politics - I have lost a few long time friends over various issues and it really does hurt. And it's scary what's happening in the US right now.
First, I appreciate your artistic talent. I never got much beyond finger painting (tornado alley) or those water color sets in a tin.

It is scary. Most of us have decided that the other side is evil, not simply mistaken.
I, for one, believe that if my friends are doing or saying things wrong, they are doing it out of their best and most loving intentions.
