    I’ve heard that comedy is when you suddenly upend expectations in a shocking or unexpected way, ie the punchline. And since fash like things to be predictable, maybe they just can’t do humor bc they don’t like that sudden surprise? So they just yell slurs to be smug in their sadism?

      I posted above that I did punch up a conservative comedy routine, kept the content and spirit of the jokes but made them into jokes. This can totally be done from a conservative perspective and you can get jokes that are bad socially but conceivably funny. They’re just really bad at joke making and I think you’ve got some of the reason there.
