A question for the group -

Where does that leave the Christian Conservatives in all of this? Traditionally a goup seeking the moral high ground, stoic and unfunny, however voting in alignment with those we've discussed in this thread.

Odd bedfellows, to be sure.


It's a complicated situation to be sure and not easily explained but essentially it is the traditionalism and social conservativism that unites these groups. By declaring everything on the right as white supremacy, racist, toxic masculinity, etc. the left has essentially forced the right or those left behind to assume more traditional views on culture, society, relationships, etc. Since social conservatism and traditional religions are an aspect of this, Christianity does have a place in the new right wing coalition.

The left memes are extremely vile and cruel. It takes away any chance to be funny

As someone who is on neither "team", the ones from the "alt-right" tend to be pretty damn funny.

Not so much from the proggy left.


I don't know, I know some pretty funny progs, but that might be my bias showing (along with everyone else's in this thread).

One thing for sure is we'd all be better off if everyone would lighten up.

because memes based on truth are undeniably funny and memes based on a lie are unfunny and only amuse those so ignorant as to not know or understand the truth.

most left wing memes are just sad attempts at insults where memes from the right "mostly" just stem from shining a light on the lefts lunacy so they literally create themselves

yet when you try to engage them about anything more in depth than the general storyline you get met with blank faces or a look of smugness and "whoa man don't take it so seriously." As soon as the next "popular thing" comes about they move on and promptly forget the other previous thing ever existed.


they all watched "big bang theory" and think thats what is cool and nerdy.

They dont even realize half the time the science in the show was misapplied or flat out wrong.

Did you ever think that the left dominates the arts, because only people with average intelligence and no drive for success, would ever willingly choose a degree that led to ------ NOTHING.



So, you are arguing that mankind's collective visual and musical art is...nothing? Speaking of joyless...

Art is the result of a productive society. Art does not create a productive society.

This has nothing to do with the absurd argument he was attempting to make.

Because the right is typically composed of smart, good looking, capable people with a good sense of humor. We know how to interact with people because most of us played sports, had girlfriends, weren’t bullied, and aren’t losers.
Yeah. When I see memes I always imagine their creators as a bunch of fricking studs.

Nah, vile and cruel can be very funny, theirs are just lame.


Irreverence toward mainstream society is what makes good comedy. Irreverence towards subjects that mainstream or PC culture already hold in contempt just doesn't make for good comedy. It's the difference between pouring an ounce of water into a half-full 5 gal bucket and pouring that same oz of water into a hot frying pan.
