This might be a good sign. I just discovered this guy myself three or four days ago.
The left has tried to control comedy. But this guy has broken loose.. A lot of left-wingers won’t be able to handle the heat.
There is also Tom MacDonald, who is really the best ally that conservatives have.

…” conservatives”…
There is no such thing as a true conservatives any more. Just Trumpists and those that they refer to as RINO’s.

Not even a chuckle.
Once again the fact that “conservatives” are bad at comedy is fully demonstrated.
Here is the problem such right wing comedians face. Real comedy is built on a foundation of shared truth not on delusional fantasies.

My reaction was what it was.
And, I stand by my observation about “conservative” comedy and the uphill battle it faces.
FWIIW – This is the meaning of “woke” from Merriam-Webster
“woke: aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”
That actual meaning explains why your attempt at a funny response kind of fails. But, nice try.

I take it a famous song from West Side Story is not part of your “foundation of shared truth.”

Uh, no. I immediately recognized the reference to Officer Krupke. It was the attempt at humorous irony based on your pride at not being “woke.” that fell flat.

I did not mind the friendly jab of being referred to as “Officer Krupke.” I did not mind any of it. I took it as an attempt at humor. I simply found it not funny for the reason stated.

So did you see the Spielberg movie? And if so, how was it?
Personally, I was lucky enough to have been a part of a WSS cast at the community theater I grew up in and performed that song in Act II.

Okay, I am not sure what you mean, but I will try.
Humor based on delusional fantasies is only funny to those who share the same delusional fantasy. For example, this “comedian” tries to make a joke comparing vaccination mandates to the monstrous medical experiments and genocide of the Nazis. Only if you share the fantasy belief that the government is intent on stealing your liberty and bodily autonomy might you find such “humor” amusing. Those who don’t share that fantasy belief find the “joke” to be the opposite of funny. In fact, repellant and in extremely poor – even cringeworthy – taste.
Or, take the “joke” about Kyle Rittenhouse murdering black people. You might think it is funny because in your reality KR was an innocent good citizen defending law and order unfairly demonized by leftists. In my reality, he was a disturbed and homicidal misfit looking for trouble. So, I did not find the “joke” funny at all and, the “comedian’s” de facto mocking the victims of that homicidal misfit in extremely poor taste.
I hope you are regaled.

Decades ago, while I still lived in Louisiana, we were having dinner at a friend’s house on a country road that had a right angle turn. We heard a crash and went out to look, and saw a car whose driver simply hadn’t made the turn. The car had almost cleared the large ditch with the front end resting on the far side of the ditch and the rear end resting on the near side. As we approached, we saw that the rear wheels were still spinning fast under power, and the driver was still staring intently ahead and gripping the steering wheel.
Clearly, the driver was a Democrat. He had driven his car into the ditch, hard, and didn’t even know he was no longer driving happily down the road.

So, when we get out of the metaphorical ditch ALL of these decisions and many more can be reversed . . .

Your little story would have been more accurate if you would admit the truth. The GOP drives the country into a ditch and then a Democrat has to tow the country out, all the while, the GOP “driver” keeps his foot on the brakes because the ditch is “safe”, for big business, radical right wing anti-intellectuals, and Libertarians.

It was the road’s fault. He didn’t build that.

Quite possibly. How well-lit or marked was this sharp curve? As a country we tend to be penny-wise and pound-foolish on infrastructure spending.
