Religious-right activist Janet Porter made a sitcom, which is bad enough, but it includes an episode that is literally about voting for Trump, which is unspeakably awful.

Right wingers not really doing anything to combat those accusations of not being funny.

Apparently they couldn't find a sound engineer that passed their ideological purity test.

“They wanna take your guns”
How many elections have they been saying that?

[catdogpigduck]

Pornos have better production value, writing, and acting.

I'm confused: Is the guy in the recliner supposed to be Janet Porter's... brother? _Father?_ She's "dating" the other guy, so it's not her bf or husband. Janet Porter is in her 60s – she cast herself as the young female lead? Or is she supposed to be a "cougar?" This is just weird.

If he hadn’t bad acted the line “how can you date a guy who…?” I would’ve thought she was his mother.🤣🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

[FalseCast]

This gave me hemorrhoids. Thank you, trump jesus 🙏

This looks like it was filmed inside of a Sears catalogue circa 2004

I don't even care about their insane cult nonsense, I'm WAY more pissed off about the garbage audio. Seriously, if you can't afford a decent audio set-up (or you're too lazy to get one), then don't bother with making a sitcom💯💯💯

[adamtokay]

Imagine waking up in a world filled with such characters. What a nightmare... Wait..

[Cuythulu]

Even in a sketch written by them they still come across as the assholes. The guy clearly didn't want to have the conversation and was very polite obout it, it was the other two who kept pushing their views in their guest.

[hoopoverthehill]

How is this a sitcom? Where are the jokes? It just sounds like preaching.

[andrewglidewell]

She was dating that guy !!!??? I thought she was supposed to be his mother

[Jambi]

This is another world. I can't imagine being around people like this for even a few minutes.

[CriticalBrainTube]

Show would be so much better if they took the microphone out of its soup can.

Context: “Religious-right activist Janet Porter made a sitcom, which is bad enough, but it includes an episode that is literally about voting for Trump, which is unspeakably awful.” Titled: “What’s a Girl to Do?”

[jenna]

It's feckin' hilarious when fundies try to imagine normal life.

[jonstirling]

They did one thing right, they made training videos. I’ve heard this verbatim a few times. It’s not about policy anymore, it’s about power for them.

[jakelong]

So the question is how do you come back at her comments in the order she gave out to him. No women should be made to carry a miscarriage or atopic pregnantcy to full term or made to carry an incest or rapist baby no woman's body should be govern by the state or federal government, not all gun owners are good stewards of the 2nd amendment I'm sure there's more

Where did they find these actors? The "date" is several magnitudes out of the lady's league - she also looks old enough to be his mother.

At first I thought it was a MAGA mother and father having a debate with their Liberal son.
