Seriously, most of them are failed artists and screen writers (lemmy.world)

A good portion of the blue collar guys were funny, modern “conservatives” are just blatant bigots

None of the conservative influencers have ever held a job (that didn't depend on being bankrolled by some conservative billionaire).

Yeah funny how one of the founding texts of modern gender theory (Stone Butch Blues) was written by a working class factory worker from buffalo, but a bunch of rich failed Los Angeles writers and actors want to act like they understand everyday Americans.

Leslie Feinberg (September 1, 1949 – November 15, 2014) was an American butch lesbian, transgender activist, communist, and author.

Yeah that tracks for factory work.

Yeah it’s one of those things that it’s really funny how so many people who’ve never set foot in a factory wouldn’t understand.

I’ll die on the hill that Jeff Foxworthy is funny as fuck. Ron White isn’t really bad albeit he’s just a really good storyteller, Larry the Cable Guy was always way too much gimmick for my taste but he was mostly fart jokes or the equivalent, Bill Engvall is the most fortunate man in the history of comedy because his ceiling would be traveling youth pastor had he not hitched his wagon to the others

Edit: and while it was clear they were conservative, they were never racist as far as I remember, although reflecting they were probably at least a tad sexist and homophobic, and I’m not gonna apologize for them if my memory is wrong

Edit 2: fuck I forgot about 9/11, Larry the cable guy for sure used the fuck out of that, retract the not racist bit, it was par for the course at the time but that’s no excuse
