Humorists might have to work for a living again, though.

I think there will be less toons about excrement, toilets, and repulsively obese naked bodies. With Donald Trump, political cartoons have become so obscene, they're often difficult to look at, but that was a reflection on him and his administration.

Now the cartoonists, along with many comedians will just have to work a little harder. I'm sure they will find plenty of material to work with. It just won't be so x-rated and nasty. And they'll still have plenty of whacko right-wing politicians to ridicule.
