Yet when it comes to tRump, seditious repukes and anything else of an uncivilized nature, this does not come to a harmless prank, but something that is ugly, ghastly and incapable of co-existing in a civilized society:
True tomfoolery trumps April Fool’s Day
April Fool’s Day just ain’t what it used to be. Why bother conjuring fake tomfoolery when our political players so often insist on serving up the real thing?
For instance: When GOP chairman Reince Priebus recently declared, in the spirit of party outreach, that all Americans, even the non-white and non-heterosexual ones, should be treated with “dignity and respect” – because “nobody deserves to have their dignity diminished, people don’t deserve to be disrespected” – it was a cinch to think up April Fool’s riffs about Republicans who hadn’t gotten the memo. But why bother with jokes when reality writes itself? Why opt for parody when they insist on parodying themselves?"
