Look, I’ve addressed this before — a few times, actually — but conservatives don’t understand comedy. There’s a reason why there aren’t many prominent stand-up comedians who are definitively right-wing, and there aren’t any widely viewed late shows or comedy movies that lean conservative. Sure, they make racist jokes and then default to “Ha-ha, you’re triggered” when nobody laughs, and they certainly thought “Let’s go, Brandon” was comedy gold for years, but they are devoid of the capacity for cleverness and nuance required to craft a quality joke, or to understand any joke that isn’t designed for people who have the emotional maturity of toddlers being entertained by birthday clowns.
Now, I’m not even saying the joke former President Barack Obama made about President Donald Trump having “the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” was even all that funny or clever, but the fact that the clueless, hue-less and humorless dweebs of the MAGA world didn’t understand that it was a diss on Trump’s tackiness, not on the Cheesecake Factory itself, is an indicator that they are the “low-IQ” folks they call everyone else, and that they simply don’t have the intelligence to detect the humor in any joke that doesn’t begin with “knock, knock,” whether it’s objectively funny or not.
Obama made the remark during a campaign rally in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, and it apparently struck a MAGA nerve, either because they’re unaware that during the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, dozens of palaces owned by the late Iraqi dictator were discovered to be decorated in gaudy gold — or because they eat at the Cheesecake Factory, and they think Obama was making fun of their favorite eatery.
