  • Agreed. Conservatives really struggle with creating comedy of anyj8 kind. Their humor tends to rely on creating a perspective based on entirely false, unrealistic scenarios that just feel hollow given anything more than cursory attention.

    They try to be witty and biting about the crazy shit they come up with that doesn’t actually exist, like the war on Christmas (the only ones fighting the war are them), or the danger of trans people (who are statistically harmless compared to good ole’white Christian cis-men).

    Good comedy is (usually) rooted in reality, referencing situations or scenarios that reflect the actual world around us, giving the consumer something they can relate to or at least understand. Comedy that’s not rooted in a little truth can be very hard to pull off, as evidenced by stand up comedy flops like Crowder and “satire” sites like the OP.
