Demanding a comedian put on the face of tragedy and speak in solemn phrases of pop psych jargon is likely to get more laughs from the very people who were Ms Fey's target in the first place.

Please note, Josey Ross, Tina Fey was not seriously advocating sheetcake eating as a social policy. It's a metaphor for how we got here. Honestly, how many Bernie supporters voted for Trump or simply sat at home eating cake last November?

Josey Ross describes herself:  "As a queer cisgender white woman I aim to work from a place that understands my positionality and uses my sites of privilege in solidarity with others. I use a strengths-based, trauma-informed, intersectional feminist lens grounded in anti-oppression principles."

When one talks in jargon and technobabble, the rest of the world tunes out. Tina Fey will be listened to because she speaks in plain English. She skewered the Unite the Right nuts. She also took a jab at those hand-wringing progressives who think being smug is enough.
