I think the main aspect of the joke is supposed to be that the villain is imaginary. But as we always point out, why not accept the imaginary pretext as a Leftist? Yeah, we want to make it illegal to entrap children and eat them. What is the basis of your opposition? That we made up that it is happening? Are you afraid there won't be enough laws for your real problems later because we used them all up on this? Is that how laws work in your head?

Fair enough, that's how 'wealth' works to a Keynesian, so, maybe you do think laws work that way too.

But let's get to the real level. Leftists oppose these measures via deflection alone. "That's not really happening, that's just rabble rousing!" By making a law that says "witches can't eat children" they say we're just creating "anti-witch sentiment" on purpose so we can kill witches for any reason by asserting that they eat children too. This is an understandable fear because this is how they use the 'racist,' 'sexist,' and 'pedo' cards always. "It's not the degree of evidence, it's the nature of the charge" has been the Leftist go-to political kill-move for 50 years. Their favorite attack has been off-topic aspersion and zero-basis slander for 2 full generations.

Cancel Culture is a Leftist invention, they thought they could ride Weinstein all the way to Trump and manufactured a social movement to do it. They haven't had total control of it at any point, and it was a stupid idea to begin with as evidenced by every single big target ending up being a Donor Class Democrat. Doubling down on failure, they selectively reversed the cancellations of the Democrats they liked, showing it all to be a hypocritical sham.

So let's just be clear. Protecting children (pre-teens, infants, unborn) from exploitation, mutilation, and murder is now an exclusively Right position. And the best defense a Leftist can muster is "Let them do what they want" right after "You made that up."
