Samantha Bee on Being “Democrat-Celibate” (from The Assignment with Audie Cornish)
On with Kara Swisher
Political Reflections and Humor's Role
This chapter centers on a participant's shift away from the Democratic Party, as they seek a break from political involvement, which they term as 'Democrat celibate.' The conversation explores the interplay between politics and comedy, questioning the relevance of traditional satire in today's unpredictable news landscape while acknowledging the complexity of humor in the context of political figures like Donald Trump. Ultimately, the chapter emphasizes a preference for escapism through gentler forms of entertainment over engagement with distressing political content.
