Once you start down the "projection" and "insane mirroring" road, 
then the issue is not whether there are Dem comedy shows which foreground politics. 

No one is complaining about "heaping scorn" or assuming only one side does it. 

The "projection" question has to do with whether the comedy is uncritically buttressing 
propaganda, and dangerous propaganda at that, for an audience chronically susceptible to
and acting on lies--fraudulent election, witch hunts, Dem weaponization--which are largely
disseminated and maintained via media like Fox. 

Pally has correctly noted that Luvnit did not start this thread because he just likes apolitical comedy
and thought we could all use a laugh. The show's popularity confirms for him its messaging 
about fraudulent election, witch hunts, and Dem weaponization. 

The show is part of what called social "backing" on another thread, which strengthens a group's
perception of "validity."
