Republicans Aren’t Funny

Liberals and Democrats can enjoy that loose way of parleying; conservatives and Republicans can’t. We have an imbalance of laughter, which the left has created as part of its longstanding culture war tactics. What the right thinks is comical the left labels offensive, the left makes fun of its adversaries at will.

“Who on this forum thinks that Mormonic Imbecile is “conservative”?”

Only just every Chamber of Commerce Republican that ever lived.

Leftists are vile scum. It’s a shame but I absolutely hate half of the American population who I have to “coexist” with. They are either leftist a-holes or are completely apathetic and useless especially voting. I will never reconcile with their insanity. They need to be purged. If that sounds harsh, read up on their history and what they currently think and have in store for us soon.

We laugh at Liberals not because they are funny.. but because they are so ridiculous.
The further left they go.. the more insane and less funny they become.

GG on the weekends is a hoot. Tyrus is funny too.

[semimojo]

Liberals denigrate for laughs.

Kind of an ironic statement given the three jokes you posted.

[Deplorable American1776]

Republicans are funny and have a sense of humor: CNN is great comedy...so is Morning Joe and Nany and Chuck...😋

[Yardstick]

Didn’t read the article so not sure of the writer’s angle, but...

Conservatives dominate with memes
Michael Ramirez — by far the best political cartoonist today
The Onion — relentlessly funny...seems to have handed the baton to Babylon Bee
South Park

I will admit that I find Colbert funny. Also Jon Stewart back in the day.

The funniest stuff on YouTube are the Key & Peele comic shorts and BLR song parodies, neither of which are particularly political. Also got a huge kick out of the Portlandia series which was liberals ribbing fellow liberals.

[Gen.Blather]

Leftist comedians are not funny when they attack conservatives. You can tell when the audience applauds rather than laughing. That signifies agreement but not humor.

Americans before the disease of PC.

IMHO:

• PC is the ability of socialists to have their own opinions and their own facts.

• Socialists have the ability to have their own “facts” because:
  • journalism is a socialist monopoly which routinely libels Republicans and never libels Democrats, and

  • the 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan decision prevents Republicans from suing for libel.

I do it just to bug people who think everything they post and say is of great importance.

[Twotone]

I post things that I find interesting & think others would be interested in.

It’s the main reason I come to this website. This happy band of warriors Jim has collected is worth the time and trouble.
