As a freelance writer I've found it very difficult to publish political satire. I've sent vignettes to dozens of newspapers as op-eds, to small press magazines, writing contests. Think of a venue...I've attempted to publish there. Not that my writing isn't funny or good. It's funny. It's good. And it's not like I can't publish fiction or poetry. I've been published many times in small press venues, but when you add a little political spice, a little scariness about it, publishers tend to shy away. It's possible they don't want to take a side...well, sorry liberals...IT'S TIME TO TAKE SIDES!!!!!! Forgive me...couldn't help but lapse into Dump language there. If it weren't for BOLD and ALL CAPS, POTUS wouldn't even exist now, would he? Subtlety? Not our Mr. Dump...For some reason, his opponents want to travel the high road. I don't oppose him, have never met him, but because he is powerful and actively ruining the lives of millions of Americans like myself, I feel I just have to respond to him. I like republics. I like freedom of speech. I like having rights and privileges. I want to remain in a country where people are treated with respect, and I don't mean just billionaires. You could argue I'm preaching to the choir here. Well, look where that got Dump. Of course I don't have $$$$$$$$$ to back me and promote my propaganda, but believe me, if I went the other way, if I called myself a CONSERVATIVE (a minsnomer if ever there was one...what, exactly are they conserving? BS?) I'd probably be a US Senator or something comparable, like the governor of some right wing fully gerrymandered state. All I'd have to do would be to kiss the right ass.
