    True.

    I think that as we move towards shorter and shorter clips/tweets, there’s an assumed prior context that is often missing. For example, Borat or Stephen Colbert’s character on The Daily Show are clear caricatures but when you have a 5-second clip out of context, it actually feeds into the narrative it is ridiculing.

    The same goes for naming cosplaying an elected official.
