Satirists
HubPages Inc.(2016) discusses how satirists use sharp sarcasm to push the tolerance boundary of their audience.
Relation To Modern Day
Podzemny (2016) says that satirists will exaggerate the words of their opponents, or put them in a position to highlight their mistakes. This reminds me of politicians. They always try to tear each other down and make the other politician look bad.
Saturday Night Live (2016) uses juvenalian satire in its skits. They blow things out of proportion to make fun of people or groups, commonly using politics.
