If ‘The Simpsons’ Ran This Trans-Killing Joke Today, It Would Immediately Be Pulled from the Air

It wasn’t too long ago that Americans had a sense of humor, and comedians were equal-opportunity jokesters who made politically incorrect cracks about nearly everyone. A flashback from a 2007 episode of the hit animated…

Regardless of your opinion about this scene, it’s impossible to imagine it airing today without a violent backlash from leftists, who undoubtedly would demand its immediate cancellation.

It’s also likely the show’s creators would be smeared as “transphobic” and “white supremacists,” even though there’s no racial angle to the storyline.

But that’s the modus operandi of today’s unhinged, race-hustling, violent left.

Numerous comedians, including Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chappelle, have decried the oppressive Political Correctness of today’s liberals, who gleefully hamper free speech while claiming they’re tolerant.

“I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don’t go near colleges. They’re so PC,'” Seinfeld told ESPN in 2015.

Seinfeld said today’s coddled college students don’t even understand what racism and sexism truly are, but frivolously attack others as “racist” or “sexist” because it’s trendy.

“They just want to use these words: ‘That’s racist.’ ‘That’s sexist.’ ‘That’s prejudice.’ They don’t even know what they’re talking about,” he said.

Seinfeld is right: It’s intellectually lazy to disparage someone whose opinion you disagree with as “racist” or “sexist” simply because you’re unable to counter his or her arguments logically.

Unfortunately, that’s the hallmark of today’s left: emotionally incontinent, violent, dismissive of science, hypocritical and intellectually lazy.

Just as our memories of the terrifying Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 were fading, left-wing riots and violence are escalating again following the Supreme Court’s landmark reversal of Roe v. Wade.

We shouldn’t have to live like this.
