I think that 20 years later it is much harder make effective satire, so I rarely do it now. More extreme positions are taken pretty regularly by folks online, so even people like you in my target audience are never sure if something is satirical or just extreme.
That’s why most satire is pretty lame. The more obvious it is, the less funny; the less obvious it is, the less interesting. And the whole thing is built on an inside/outside dynamic that is pretty basic.
