Actually I think it’s changing. . .the Left is losing humor because of all the political correct taboos. A show like “East Bound and Down” of just a few years ago couldn’t be made today. Comedians can hardly appear anymore on college campuses. . The new young generation of conservatives are seizing comedy and satire and are using it quite effectively. Kudos to Rush Limbaugh: a pioneer from years ago in using comedy and satire to ridicule the Left.
Well, if you’d actually read the article (!) you would realize the author was making a point about A) the fact that the GOP-e types are cowed by the left’s humorless attack humor, & B) that’s one reason why people flocked to Trump & why he continues to be successful. He doesn’t let the leftists get away with anything. He mocks them right back.
And yes, the author does discuss the new comedians on the right that people are beginning to follow. The only problem there is that the social media lefties are blocking & de-platforming them as fast as they can. Humor engages people & the fact that the left has been able to silence the right with PC nonsense has been a big problem for us.
