We Don’t Need A Trite And Predictable MAGA Satire Author Carl Hiaasen is an opinionated liberal well-known for writing crime capers that get laughs from readers. His latest, Fever Beach, out May 15, will get plenty of laughs from some left-leaning readers looking to reaffirm their already-held belief that Trump supporters are idiotic, racist buffoons. This book is Hiaasen’s second satire attempt on Trump and the MAGA movement, with 2020’s Squeeze Me pillorying the inner circle at Mar-A-Lago. It’s worth mentioning up front that the book isn’t actually funny and is a complete waste of time and energy. But understanding why the book is so unenjoyable to any discerning reader of any political persuasion is helpful in assessing the bigger problem with much of contemporary mainstream comedy and satire. Fever Beach starts off with ex-Proud Boy and ex-Oathkeeper Dale Figgo going around rich neighborhoods in Florida and enlisting a random hitchhiker to throw out misspelled anti-Jewish pamphlets he’s printed up. A “right-wing chowderhead” who leads a secret cell of patriots named the “Strokers for Liberty,” Figgo is a masturbation addict who works at a sex doll packaging warehouse and is scared of being scolded by his strict mom. Hiaasen’s designated “MAGA-tard” bad guy has a minimal grasp of proper English and a blind hatred and fear of minorities and women. Very original and nuanced
