Its funny how you instantly just reveal how you don't understand comedy in 5 words.

Alot of Comedy is literally about making the truth amusingly funny instead of serious.

Seriously? A lot of Bill Burr's sets have trigger points for liberals. Maybe not as much recently - I don't know - but he has a ton of bits on YouTube that would inflame liberal commentators today.

And the Blue Collar guys were huge a few years ago - with the exception of Ron White (who still wasn't what I'd call a typical liberal), they were really conservative.

Tbh, you just don't know the political opinions that a lot of famous comedians have in private. They are paid entertainers.

Most comedians who lean conservatively just don't really claim a party. Because, well, who the hell wants to publicly be republican?

because conservatives are mostly smug assholes more concerned with the bottom line than people's well being and providing real laughs to people. They'd just as happily be told they are funny and hear fake laughter.

The largest markets for stand up comedy (L.A., New York, Chicago, etc.) have predominantly liberal audiences. So I would guess if you're a conservative you probably stay neutral about political humor or just avoid writing those type of bits all together.

also politics is not usually a funny topic so most comedians wouldn't want to outright identify themselves with a political party. Anti political humor however is.

He definitely leans conservatively, he's just not a fucking but.

Dennis Miller is also a conservative comedian

Not saying Burr would label himself a conservative, but he definitely has been saying a lot of stuff Hillary-supporting Democrats would not be down with:

Burr is an equal opportunity comedian. He makes fun of everybody and everything. Most great comedians do/can. Chappelle is the same way.

Is there some rule where you have to be a liberal or conservative? Can someone just be a person with opinions unaffected by all the hogwash of both sides? He says it himself he doesn't pay attention to politics and no one should take what he says about them to heart.

I can see where a lot of people would think that, though. He still uses gay slurs, he has a pretty harsh stance on divorce and how men are treated by the courts (I think he's explicitly anti-marriage), he thinks the country should stop blaming white people for problems, the time period he picked for his Netflix show is the 1950s, etc.
