• 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 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.
