Short Answer: Yes. Very
Long Answer: It depends. I find Colbert consistently funny night after night. And, yet, you continue to hear within fucking cocksucker MAGA New Right circles that he’s not funny. He’s a part of “the system” and he’s just another portion of the liberal propaganda machine.
I struggle to sort such thinking out because I really like what Colbert has done with his show since Trump took office. But, I think what I’m having difficulty understanding is there are people within the MAGA New Right personality death cult who actually like fucking cocksucker Donald Trump and get very upset if you pick on him.
It just boggles my mind.
The crux of the issue, I think is two fold. One, generally to be funny is to be center-Left. By definition. It’s extremely difficult to be funny and conservative because telling a joke is meant to be a somewhat Leftist act unto itself. Second, fascists are not know for having the greatest senses of humor. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Trump laugh once in his public life.
Also, I think Colbert has established himself as the most newsy of the late night talk shows and so he’s willing to play it straight — not be funny on purpose — to convey some not-so-great news to his audience. As such, the cry babies of the MAGA New Right watch Colbert and get upset.
I just don’t take myself that seriously in general. And it’s self-evident that Trump is an humorless piece of shit. So, you have to forego humor if you support him.
