The right has always been envious of the left's hipness, our intellect which shows up in our complete ownership of comedy which is a direct reflection of our keen clever intellect. We are WOKE and they can’t stand that they can never be as cool. So, they aim to destroy, to demonize, to smear and defeat us. They go after all of our hero’s and greats and tear them down with hate and lies. We have to end this!!!

1. K&R, they also hate the idea of one person one vote. That's at the core of their despise for ...

... what America stands for.

Great observation, rainy...

Right folks are binary thinkers... No creativity spawns from that.

Famous binary thinkers: Chuck Todd. Hah... He's the only one I can think of off the top of my head (before coffee), since he is the WORST example..

3. I really think you've hit on their main motivation for everything

8. Walleye... One of my epiphanies in life came from...

... a book called "Born to Rebel" by Frank J. Sulloway. It's a landmark study about conservatives and liberal thinking.. It's foundation is about birth order and family dynamics and how those factors affect the way different people think about thinks. It's a dense but brillian read... Sulloway looked at 4,000 figures in science and determined that all revolutions in science came from latter born liberal thinkers.

It's a great read, and "Do you have older siblings?" is one of the first questions I ask people I meet along with "What do you think about dogs?" The answers tell me just about all I need to know about a person.

4. "They can never be as cool"

Better looking, more personable and charismatic, and probably more likely to have a date on Saturday night in high school. Definitely envy on the part of many on the right, as they seem to be stuck in adolescence.

7. Even our protests are more genuine and grassroots and are always a fight for change that makes life more fair and just. Their protests are manufactured from the top down, tea party was funded from the top. CRT manufactured from the top. We are grassroot fighters for good and they are astroturf squawkers of meanness and vile hate!

9. Wokeaware of reality of other people.

Ask a conservative to define "Woke" and they can't. To them, it's just another label for "the opposition".

Please. The left's idea of a good comeback is "Oh yeah? Well, go back to watching Faux Snooooze!!"...




...Followed by "Damn, why didn't I think of that earlier?"

Leftists are a lot of things, but hip isn't one of them. Four words: The left can't meme. When the right memes, it's a cornucopia of hilarity.When the left tries to meme, it's like watching a person pick up a tool and, not knowing what it's for, just start inserting it into random things.

The truth is, the left fears and loathes the right's memetic warfare, they don't know how to stop it, they can't emulate it. All they can   do is try to redirect right-wing memes.

In the real world, the Dems' strategy often is: "Vote early and often.

5. They hate us for our humanity and coolness. No question about it.

We prove you can be really, really cool AND humane and compassionate at the same time. In short, WE ROCK!!

I've never met an actually cool person who had to publicly trumpet their "coolness" on a daily basis.

Patting yourself on the back that hard, you might pull a muscle there.

28. Not to mention

Principled
Inclusive
Generous
Tolerant
Thoughtful

Agree!

Y'all have no principles.  You bounce to the cause d'jour so fast you don't realize when you step on the groups you did support.  Ask the women who complain about men being in women's restrooms, sports, prisons, and shelters.  The "feminist" left has thrown them out like last week's leftovers for the new popular minority.  And when the next big thing comes along, the alphabet soup crowd will also be discarded.  Generous?  How many surveys, polls and other measures show evil conservative donate more to charity instead of just expecting the great almighty government to take care of the poor, despite decades of those governments doing a horrible job of it?  The left is only tolerant and inclusive of those who are in lock(goose)step with their ideology, and they don't think past whatever the day's talking points are, the way they like to accuse Christians of doing.

[fatboy]

Because being hip is spending time in the lockup, the rubber room or both and conservatives tend to avoid this.

Wait a sec, this says exploit shades of gray. Accidental admission of something not so flattering? 

[Texacon]

Uh, how many threads have we ALL seen over there where they talked about how they were the "brainy kid who was always picked on and stayed to themselves and didn't go out because they were too busy being brainy?"

Now they want to claim they're COOL?!   

Hell, even the OP demonstrates just how dumb they are;

Uh, so which is it?  You're too smart for us or, you have to figure out a way to outsmart us?

Yep, that’s it. Took you forever to figure it out.

Bill Maher Gushes Over ‘New King of Late Night’ Greg Gutfeld: ‘Fox News Found a Good Thing’

HBO late-night host Bill Maher made waves with an uncharacteristic move in Friday’s show, commending Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, while making the case for conservative comedy.

“There’s a new king of late night and his name is Greg Gutfeld,” Maher commented.

“Fox News found a good thing,” Maher said, highlighting the ability of the network to make entertaining segments out of liberal news. “They can make fun of liberals and they are doing it to great success.”

They think they're so hip and with-it, yet they consistently fail to discuss something that the rest of the internet is talking about.  Example:  Libs of Tik Tok which blew up the web.  Also caused a Streisand Effect.

They finally got around to discussing Libs of Tik Tok.  https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216608886  Most were vindictive and uninformed, such as

Meanwhile, this woman's entire account involves secretly recording teachers and calling them pedophiles.

Of course, LOTT does just what we do at the Cave.  Take their verbatim stuff, and re-post it.  That's all.
