I just watched his hot take on the capitol being stormed.
In addition to being smarmy, arrogant and spiteful towards “the other” (ie middle America), his monologue was painfully unfunny and hackneyed. Reddit-tier humor.
It’s clear he sees himself as some sort of modern-day Thomas Paine. He’s really just unfunny. And I used to like him. Sad!

You can't be very funny in an event which just happened to American Democracy.
Colbert is the only guy that kept me alive during COVID!! He was/is hilarious with his takes and he’s self-deprecating on top of it all.. the best is when his wife is watching the show live.
Not sure your problem, but Colbert is king.
When did you like him?

That’s because on Comedy Central he was playing a caricature of a Fox News personality like Bill O’Reilly or something.
You liked him when you didn’t know he was being sarcastic
It was spot-on and then some.

He really hasn’t changed his character.
It has little to do with middle America. I am sure there are people in every state of U.S. who saw Trump for what he his in 2016. Do not blame your ignorance on your proximity to Mississippi River.
People of reasonable intellect knew Trump did not build most of those buildings with his name on marquee.
People of reasonable intellect knew if he placed money he inherited from his father in S & P 1500, he would be far wealthier than he is.
People of reasonable intellect knew he was a fraud when N.F.L. realized Trump never was a real billionaire. N.F.L. would not allow Trump to buy Buffalo Bills because N.F.L. figured out Trump was not anywhere near billionaire status.
People of reasonable intellect knew his leadership & managerial style would lead to eventual disaster.

Colbert is smart, witty, funny, and talented. He's also a good interviewer. Your political bias prevents you from recognizing talent.

This is the answer. End of discussion.

Never watched him before and don’t plan to know. He is completely ignorant to the fact that Leftist media is just as deceptive as Fox News. That is the game that the media has to play to get you to represent their political parties. Yes FoxNews supported Trump’s conspiracies, if they did not Trump would have no shot in being elected. In the same way CNN has to hide the carnage from BLM riots by calling them ‘peaceful protests’. The media is extremely deceptive and cannot provide a neutral political position because they themselves are corrupt and will accept payment to portray corrupt people in a positive manner.
“Never watched him before and don’t know him but let me tell you his beliefs, motives and shortcomings.”
Colbert Report was funny I guess, but his Late Night show is pretty bad. Even if you’re liberal, it’s been the same Trump jokes for 4 years now just like the other late night shows. It makes it kind of hard to enjoy.

This is how I see it. His entire show revolves around poking fun at Trump. He is good at it but you kind of know why he is going to say every night. I
If he wants to have a show past this month he is going to have to reinvent himself. Right now I find him to be boring. I’m not alone.

Trump provided a new joke everyday through most of his presidency.

Meh. Selective outrage.
I'm sick of Democrats and Republicans. Both sides have violent extremists supporting their causes and are unwilling to cut them off. Extremists on both sides have committed deplorable violence. Both sides downplay the violence done by their own supporters as being people on the fringe and are quick to criticize the other side as being consumed with violence while not admitting to their own culpability. Sick of all of them. It's like two bratty kids claiming, "But he started it."

Poster, I hope you know Black Lives Matter is an aspiration for U.S. and not an organization. The so-called conceptual founders: Opal Tometi, Alicia Garza & Patrisse Cullors all lead real organizations. Do you believe property damage was the goal of any civil rights leaders summer, 2020? If Tometi, Garza or Cullors were considered a threat by William Barr U.S. Justice department, they would have been arrested. No Black civil rights leader were arrested. There were arrests this summer of White Fascists who attempted to join marches this past summer.

This is a good example of false equivalency. The Republican extremists were incited to attack our government by the leader of the party. I did not hear Joe Biden inciting the rioters to riot. Huge difference.
