it’s insane, because growing up there were conservatives who were funny.
now they are so deranged and out of touch with basic humanity they cannot make jokes.
Ehh… I remember thinking Dennis Miller was funny for a brief moment before realizing that was just a feeling of superiority for actually getting one of his references. While the joke itself wasn’t very funny.
I’d love to hear some examples of funny conservatives.
galaxy quest is funny, Tim Allen is conservative and was funny back then.
not sure of other examples.
to be a conservative now it’s all Identity politics no humanity and the jokes are just references to things they hate. not even a joke. just dark “blue haired liberal barista, with white guy saying he wants coffee”
Yes, please. 🤤
i like my blue haired baristas to be at least socialists and unionised, not liberal.
Galaxy Quest is funny in spite of Tim Allen imo
I’ll have to rewatch to confirm, but I don’t want to rewatch Tim Allen so I’ll take your word for it
I dunno, a lot of conservative humor has been punching down.
It is, no doubt.
But grew up with Tim Allen, and hes conservative, but was funny. No one can deny that Galaxy quest is funny.
Modern conservatives are just. not funny.
Tim Allen wasn’t always a conservative, I think that started around George W. Bush era.
Dude was literally a cocaine dealer. Not that conservatives cannot be drug dealers…
I imagine the stuff you’re thinking of (Home Improvement) was years before he ever said anything publicly to suggest he was a conservative.
I’ll give you a maybe, was under the impression that he was always conservative and has gotten worse.
not a hill i really care about.
My understanding is he was abusive as well which tracks still.
I am in no way defending him as a person.
My point is that conservatives have gotten so much worse, they have lost touch with basic humanity, they are incapable of making jokes because that involves some level of humanity to connect to the audience.
Similar things with art, Lion King is a really conservative movie (literally pro apartheid), but god dammit, it is an amazing movie. compare now with conservative movies that are trash.
Well I was more pointing that the usage of power and accruing it is an example of conservative mindsets and why their modern comedy sucks. As you said, it requires empathy and they see that as a weakness, a flaw than what it’s needed.
