One of Saul Alinsky's polemics is "ridicule is Man's most potent weapon" and that was why the Left did not allow any ridicule of Barack Obama during his Presidency - and the Republicans fell for it, refusing to insult the first black President . But as soon as liberals are out of power they employ mockery to the best of their ability.

Take this as a prime example; some two-bit teacher in Michigan wrote a play mocking Education Secretary Betsy Devos, .
From the article:

"Betsy DeVos! The Musical!” is a comedy written and directed by Quinn Strassel, an Ann Arbor Community High School teacher.

It hit the stage this past weekend in Ann Arbor, using satire and song to dish criticisms of DeVos, the wealthy Michigan Republican and advocate of charter schools and school choice policies.

While the show touches on serious issues, it’s "completely ridiculous,” Strassel acknowledges, with songs like "Jesus Wants Me to be Rich" and "The Best Kind of Teacher is a Teacher with a Gun.”

Dozens poured into Theatre Nova Saturday night, Aug. 31, for a staged reading. It was an hour-and-a-half of singing, dancing and wacky humor, drawing laughter and applause.

This is vintage liberalism; the Left will never ackowledge that the other side has a point, or even is sincerely mistaken. Well, actually, the author does grudgingly admit the latter, but only to save his liberal vision that Man is inherently good. and so is he.:

As for whether some might think it’s too hard on DeVos, Strassel said he tried to make sure the points made line up with "the negative impact she’s had on schools."

"I don’t have anything personally against Betsy DeVos and, if anything, writing this show has given me some empathy for her,” he said.

Sure. He's so wonderfully big-hearted, isn't he!

The hypocrisy of the Left never ceases to amaze me.

"I think her views are the product of a worldview that was bestowed upon her at a young age that I don’t think lines up with what most people believe in terms of public education.”

Strassel has launched a GoFundMe pagein hopes of raising money to turn it into a full production by next summer leading into the 2020 election, possibly traveling to different cities.

"I would love the show to find a bigger audience and I would love the show to have influence on the national conversation about public schools,” said Strassel, who started writing it in June.

DeVos and her family are mocked in the nine-song show, which delves into topics such as education policy, public school funding, charter schools, guns in schools, immigration and religion.

The education secretary is depicted as a clownish villain whose policies hurt public schools. In the opening song, she’s dubbed "the most controversial woman in the world.”
