 <html>In 2017/8 my audience expressed surprise fairly often that I was so vocally anti-Trump because I had a habit &amp;amp; history of making edgy, off-color jokes, as I had been doing here when I was younger, &amp;amp; what I’ve come to learn is that for a lot of (completely insane) people, the edge is a central part of their ideology and identity and beneath that there’s nothing. Just because I made one rape joke in a cartoon in 2012 doesn’t mean I think we should just go around raping people and similarly I think it’s bullcherry that some people want me to shut up now about Roe v. Wade because it compassion doesn’t match the persona I built. Personas are fake &amp;amp; the fact that so many people take that cherry seriously is the reason I toned it all down. This is real &amp;amp; scary, so please mango off if you think I shouldn’t be taking it seriously.</html>
