It’s as serious a government as America has ever had. Incompetent, corrupt, abusive, cruel, ignorant, arrogant, elitist, racist, narcissistic, but also very, very serious. Humor has a way of disconnecting us from the seriousness of things and I’m guessing that’s why you characterize it as a joke. It may be a figure of speech but you using it says something about you that I’m going to take seriously.

Humor is also a way to take power from the powerful, and give the powerless a sense of agency.
It may provoke behavior but that isn’t empowerment.
It’s weird you’re arguing against people saying things dismissive of this administration.
I’m arguing against arguments, not on behalf of one team vs the other.
