Are any of them actually funny?
Do you think that Dennis Miller is funny? Now that is funny.
Only unintentionally are they funny...cringe worthy funny...
You wanna know who's funny?
The hipster George Carlin...revered by most as the best comedian of them all....Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope...Lewis Black, Jon Stewart, Louis C.K, Chris Rock, Katt Williams, a young Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams....
When conservatives are trying to be funny, they only through as pretensious jackasses who lashes out at all the wrong targets..and for the wrong reasons. They are not even original, or have any creativity to be funny. They are incapabable of laughing at themselves, or change their minds, or see themselves from outside.
They don't come through as organic..it's only a conflated attempt to mirror whatever those "uncivil" leftists are making fun of: Everything conservatives hold sacred.
But their targets are struggling youth, minorities, immigrants, women, rape victims, poor people....and whomever they think deserve to become the butts of conservative jokes and policies..
You see, in order to have sense of humor, one have to have at least one trait conservative narcissists don't possess: Empathy. What you would call "a bleeding heart lib"...Being able to put yourself in another person's shoes.
Conservative "humor" only comes through as simpelton school yard bullying.

Sure Davy!
Like fairy dust, unicorns and elves, there must be a republican with a sense of humor out there somewhere.
Let me know if you find one. I have heard people say they think that Dennis Miller and Bob Hope is funny. Bob Hope WAS sort of funny.. for his time.. yet his conservatism and rich lifestyle proved how he lived in his own bubble.
Dennis Miller is funny though. But not the way conservatives would want to think of. He's just pathetic and cringe worthy.
And somehow, I doubt that Norm McDonald will ever measure up to the poetry of Bill Hicks.
Because a republican with an ounce of empathy, self awareness, intelligence, accute observation skills, a talent for language, being able to NOT take himself too seriously is just that rare.. :-)
I will grant republicans one thing however...
Looking past all the tragedies republicans cause with their steep corruption and the policies that follows, repubicans are a hilarious bunch.
They are so easy to mock. People who suffers from self importance, and are to uptight normally also have the biggest targets on their backs. I would like to refer you to the little tale called The Emperor's New Clothes.
And your new emperor makes it cringe worthy funny. One must almost have to watch Alec Baldwin do the impression in order not to bow down in shame and embarassment on behalf of Prezident Tiny.

Put it like this.
Republicans are stupid.
Democrats are dumb.
"Some would say the same thing about democrats"... I think you just said it.
When it comes to a sense of humor, it's a progressive thing.
It's not a partisan politics thing
Progressives do not possess your simple kind of douopolic thinking.
That's why some of them voted Jill Stein.
Forgot a few on my list over comedians who far outclasses anyone who makes comedy into a partisan thing like your amateurs who embraces GOP:
Lee Camp, Jimmy Dore, Rodney Dangerfield and Steve Wright. And then you have the English comedians:
Rowan Atkinson, Smith&Jones, Hale&Pace, Not the 9 O'Clock News, Monty Python...
My other list consists of names like George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Bill Hicks, a young Eddie Murphy, Lewis Black....Chris Rock, Dave Chapell, Katt Williams, Jon Stewart, Doug Stanhope (he calls himself 'libertarian', but doesn't have his head up GOP and supports universal healthcare).
Now, I would like for you to list up all those ingenious comedians who can measure up to these and have embraced the GOP/Trump plattform and its kicking down, immigrant hating, rapist embracing, corporate, Christo fundamentalist ideology, since that's what we are debating here :-)
Any real fundamentalist Christian who has hit the big stage with his edgy and unique style of comedy?

Not good for work in Hollywood if you're a republican?
What happened to Ronnie Reagan and Arnold Swartzenegger?
In the 50s it was hazardous to your career in Hoollywood if you were a leftist is more close to the truth.
Republicans just LOVE their celebrities so much they even elected a reality TV star masquerading as a billionaire.
They have their Ted Nugent, Roseanne Barr, Kanye West and Mel Gibson.
As far as Hollywood and Orange County today, it's run by people who are on both sides on the lane, leaning towards republican elitism.
It's just that the liberal voices gets discredited immediately after meddling in politics.
Just look at the outrage at Taylor Swift at the same time as they are being swoomed by Kanye West's bullshit.
On the comedy part, it's a known factor that the best comedians have a deep sense of empathy and intelligence. They never kick down. The best comedians, the best satirists are the true kids in the Emperor's New clothes. They can also make fun of themselves in the process.
They are putting up a mirror in front of humanity and shows humans its own insanity and makes fun of its vanity. The best comedians are truth tellers.
The worst are being shackled into partisan politics where their "comedy" not only reeks of plagiarism, but stinks of prejudices.
George Carlin could get away with a N#¤%3er joke.
Greg Gutfeld or Gavin McInnes couldn't. I didn't even realize that he considers himself to be a comedian.
Because their intentions come from different places, they can be understood differently...
That's how the same word can have completely different meanings, based on who the sender is. We know that George Carlin is not a racist. The same thing can't be said about Gavin McInnes.
Words are energy. It's magic is created by the intentsions, consciousness and awareness of the sender. The intentions can be felt by the reciever. Sometimes even physically.
That's why people can laugh at George Carlin's jokes and cringe over Greg Gutfeld's, or just be provoked at McInnes. The latter only makes himself into a sad puncline in my book...with a huge mark on his back stating "I'm a loser dork who likes to blame others for my short comings"...
