BHM: "Snark inserts a little fun into the conversation. And done well, it can help to illustrate a point in a more entertaining way"

Key point is 'if done well.'

That goes for all kinds of humor.

Unfortunately many right wingers are only capable of humor that is mean (at the expense of others), based on partisan misinformation, and often aimed at those who cannot respond.

Rush Limbaugh was expert at it. Trump took it to another level blending in the 'tough guy' exhortations he seemed to learn in the wrestling rings with Vince McMahon.
