Why Aren't Liberals Fun Anymore?
The Hill ^ | September 24, 2018 | Stephen Moore

Several months ago, the very night the Stormy Daniels story broke, I appeared on Don Lemon’s show on CNN. The producer told the guests a few minutes before we went on air that Lemon wanted our reaction to the Daniels allegations. The first guest said something trite about how “she may be doing this to call attention to herself, but we have to treat these charges against Trump very seriously.” Next, Lemon turned to me for my reaction. I really had no opinion about this story, so I just blurted out the first thing that popped into my head: “Gee, Don, who would have ever thought a stripper would want to call attention to herself?”

Now, if you are a normal person, you probably at least laugh a little or smile about that line. But the video went viral on YouTube because the other three guests, all liberals, and Lemon sat stone faced when I said that. They didn’t crack even the slightest hint of a smile. There was just a long awkward silence until I finally said, “Hello, that’s a joke.”

The point of this story is that liberals just don’t have a sense of humor anymore..

Liberals are a quarter of the way through an eight-year pout.

Because humor is most often about dealing with uncomfortable truths, and any sort of truth to them is like holy water to vampires.

Obama in particular was the Angel of Death for comedy. You simply could not make a joke about him that was actually funny without being called a racist and having your career ruined in retaliation.

In the Trump era, they’re so crazy they’ve come to believe that they can make up whatever they want and repeat it until it’s true. But that kind of “truth” isn’t true... and thus can’t be funny.

“Obama in particular was the Angel of Death for comedy. “

And our country, unfortunately.

The INSANE are never fun. Just dangerous and have to be watched 24/7.

Liberals, esp. Democrat politicians, make Ted Bundy look sane.

They have spent 4 decades exploring new ways to smile through their depression. As of Nov 2016, a sobering reality has swept over their existence as Trump painfully cut off their tax payer funded high.

They are seeing other people prospering while the are left paying their own taxes and mortgage interest instead of using the government to steal it from every tax payer in America.

The party is over. The high is gone and for the first time they are being exposed as the immature, intolerant and incompetent mooches they have always been...

They probably had a father who told them that they would never amount to anything. Sadly, Pop’s may have been right in their case and that (for them) sucks. And now we are the parents telling them to grow up and be responsible for their own BS.
