Introduction
Satire has always been a powerful tool in political discourse, allowing individuals to critique and challenge the actions of those in power in a humorous and often exaggerated way. In recent years, with the rise of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, satire has become an even more prominent force in shaping public opinion and influencing political outcomes. This project aims to explore the role of satire in contemporary political discourse, examining how it is used by comedians, writers, and social media influencers to comment on and critique political events and figures.
