Why there are no right-wing comedians

conservatives tend to have a moral compass.

Yes. And they always point toward the nearest toilet.

Because it's hard to joke about the millions tortured, starved, executed, murdered under socialism and communism.

It's even less funny than anal incest jokes, or recycled 'yo mama' jokes when you change 'yo mama' to 'you're so trailer..."

So anything shav finds funny or unfunny, you're probably safer going completely opposite.

safer? ... more right wing rhetoric?

kmax, state mandated healthcare is no indication of 'moral compass' it's just people responding to threats of force, they have been reduced to the level of dumb beasts.

North Korea has the best health care system. It's free, it's mandatory, and no one keeps costs down lower.

Spot on.

The UN GA seems to think Trump is pretty funny.

All I've seen lately from you clowns is an immoral compass.

Calling sexual assault victims "liars". It doesn't get much worse than that.

Even after they lie?

There is one I know about, a former member of Saturday Night Live, Dennis Miller.

Humor requires a certain flexibility in thinking that right wingers lack. Acceptance of others, empathy, allows you to make others laugh, many different types of "others". which makes for a successful comedian.

There aren't many kinds of "others" for conservatives, there is only "us". When there is only "us" you can only make yourselves laugh. Being able to only make your cousins laugh won't get you many hbo specials.

I'm just surprised he wipes at all. Maybe Sarah Sanders does it for him.
