It's weird that you thought me hating the majority of late night jokes about how Trump is Orange Man means I want to listen to Bill Maher or prefer E Channel stuff. Anyone who hates hacky material is a loathsome, shallow piece of shit now?
Funny you mention I should just watch "shallow talk" instead, because the primary reason I hate late night jokes about Trump is precisely *because* they're so shallow. The vast, vast majority of late night material about Trump or Republicans in general is the most low-hanging fruit material on Earth and contributes absolutely nothing to discourse. It's the TV equivalent of reading tweets that end with "RT if you agree!"
I'd love nothing more than clever jokes with fresh perspectives about Trump. And comics who find those angles are out there... they're just not on late-night TV. There, we get Colbert calling him "Cheeto-in-Chief", Jimmy Kimmel making fat jokes, and James Corden singing song parodies about how stupid Trump is.
And maybe, every once in a while, they nail a new, fresh bit about the Republicans, sure, it's possible. Maybe they're the ones falling through the cracks, maybe I just haven't seen them. But the ones that go viral are basically always cringe.
Anyway. I think you should re-examine the idea that anyone who cringes over "Orange Man" jokes is a terrible piece of shit person who likes Bill Maher or wants politics out of comedy. Because neither of those things are true at all, lol.
