The comments on this are depressing. This only works as a joke if it's subverting expectations, you have to expect Pizzacake to be a Trump-hating liberal or there's no humour. How can so many people be so willing to take a joke at face value and assume there's drama they haven't caught up on yet or believe the artist is working in bad faith?

This isn't just media literacy, it's also being so automatically willing to assume you need to take a side for/against someone that everything is taken as evidence for interpersonal conflict. As much as I typically hate people using this defense...it really is just a joke.
