Liberals lost the ability to be funny a long time ago - 24/7 hate and bile does that to one.

Comedy has become one of two things, neither of which are funny:

1) A soy boy whining and snarking about Trump.

2) An overweight female talking about her vagina.

A possible third category could include something like Samantha Bee’s show. It might be an attempt to be funny, but it’s just so cringy that we can’t be certain.

I’ve been saying this for years. The last late night funny guys were Carson and Leno. Since then, nothing but hateful unwatchable garbage. Stands ups were unfunny even before that. TV shows, gag.

Yep. Look at SNL. Look at all the Late Night Comedy shows. They’re all hardcore Leftists. Jokes are NEVER allowed to be made at the expense of Lefties or the Northeast and Left Coast - no matter how hypocritical they are and no matter how absurd their internal contradictions.

The fact that NOBODY is to even be allowed to touch these subjects shows how in the tank all the media/entertainment companies are. Any one that broke the taboo against making fun of the Left who was even moderately funny would instantly gain huge market share. The networks must know this. They are willingly sacrificing market share in the name of ideology. That right there should show everyone how much the NY/LA media is out of touch with vast swathes of America.

PS here are a few Leftist internal contradictions that could be mercilessly ridiculed:

Feminism and LGBT vs Islam - both are part of the Leftist coalition yet it is almost impossible to imagine groups that could be more ideologically opposed to one another.

Celebrities who claim to be so green yet ride in limos and private jets and live in mansions.

Celebrities and billionaires against guns......who have armed bodyguards

Leftists claim to be against income and wealth disparity....yet one of the bluest of states, California, has THE biggest gap in the country despite effectively having been a one party state for decades.

Poop and used needles all over the streets in THE most expensive city in America - the Leftist utopia of San Francisco

Massive gun violence in major cities like Chicago, Baltimore etc that are run by Democrats and which have very strict gun control.

Squaw Grey Beaver lying to claim minority status.

Maxine Waters....nothing more needs to be said

The Racist NY Times hiring and sticking with a known racist.

The obvious censorship of big Tech.

The MSM’s constant whining when they get criticized.

White Antifa thugs screaming racial epithets at Black Cops.......in the name of tolerance - natch!

All of the above and more is begging to be skewered - yet NEVER is by the Leftist Media and entertainment companies.

Comedy has become angry liberals screaming about politics.

That’s not comedy, and it isn’t funny.

We’ve stopped going to comedy clubs or going to comedy shows anywhere else because it has become nothing but insults shouted at Americans.

Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy

Come on, Kurt. We are not a "Democracy". The Constitution creates a federal republic which "shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government" (Art. IV, Section 4).

Republics everywhere. Not a Democracy anywhere.

The Founders were not historically ignorant. They read Greek and Roman classics and were quite familiar with what distinguishes a democracy from a republic.

FTA: “The French army that is our comedy corps has surrendered without a shot”

That would be the late night shows.
Comedy Central (which isn’t)
