    I used to watch Colbert Report with my dad and it took him years to realize that it was a parody mocking him often personally. My dad was not a dumb man. The conservative bubble is hard to pop. Its like a Stockholm syndrome victim sympathizing with their attacker.

      It blows my mind that when Colbert got his new job he had people coming up to him for years saying they liked his old show better.

      They liked his old show, The Colbert Report, better. When it was clearly satire.

        His old show was better. But I can’t imagine it working well any more, when reality is already so absurd.

          No they were conservative guys who clearly didn’t understand it was satire

      There are different dimensions of dumb.
