Instead of confronting Nazis she recommends stuffing your face with cake.

“Don’t yell it at the Klan,” she added, “Yell it into the cake.”

In conclusion, she encouraged “all good sane Americans” to treat the upcoming rallies “like the opening of a thoughtful movie with two female leads: Don’t show up.”

“Let these morons scream into the empty air,” she said.

As Fey lifted fists full of cake in the air, “sheetcaking” was already popping up across Twitter. Within hours, people began posting pictures of their own American flag-decorated sheet cakes. A T-shirt with the words “I’d Rather Be Sheetcaking” emerged on Amazon and a Twitter account name “T.Fey’s Sheet Cake” emerged.

“Bakeries are going to have loads of sheetcake orders,” one Twitter user wrote.

I have been told on numerous occasions this week that staying silent meant you were complicit.

Well, every joke can't land, guess she was due for a letdown after 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt.

I dunno, I thought the line about the thoughtful movie with two female leads was pretty good, I can hear her in my head delivering it as an impassioned Liz Lemon.

That was a good line.

I actually agree with her premise of "Let these morons scream into the empty air."

I am just half-jokingly waiting for people who said being silent is being complicit to criticize her.

The 2 female leads thing was funny but not sure what else the message or joke was

I think she's arguing that actively countering the rantings and ravings of white supremacists and Nazis really only serves to give them legitimacy, and they would go away quicker if they were shouting and saluting into the abyss, rather than the feedback they receive when people show up to counter-protest.

The cake part is a reference to arguably her most famous character, Liz Lemon, lover of all pastries in an alternate universe where people over 40 who down cakes and pizzas, work stressful jobs and never exercise don't balloon to 300 pounds.

He came to life! Good for him.

No, I'm pretty sure anyone who doesn't immediately advocate violence against anyone who holds fascist political views gets you labeled a Nazi sympathizer.

Carrying guns and chanting "the Jew will not replace us" incites violence.

I thought it was "Jews", plural.

Who is the Jew that will replace them all? Like some Voltron-like Mega-Golem or something?

That Jew would be Jon Stewart.

She looks complicit here,too:

The plural of "Jew" is actually "Jew," just like "deer".

For example, I saw a family of Jew on my way home today. They are really getting overpopulated.
