I want to explain to Cauvin that Cooper isn't better than him because she does a better Trump impression, but because he's doing "impressions" the way they've been done for centuries—no innovation—and Cooper is a *metamodernist genius* who understands *we live in the digital age* https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1279157645690224640
PS/ Also, FWIW, trying to video-record yourself lip-syncing to an existing audio track is a *completely different art-form* than mere voice manipulation and some squinting; it puts infinitely more pressure on body language, eye and lip movements, and prop usage

It's hard as hell
PS2/ All of which is to say yes of *course* fans of Sarah Cooper should leave Cauvin alone—there's no reason to be a jerk on the internet—but Cauvin also needs to understand that Cooper understands our moment and her audience and her art in a way that's candidly out of his league
