3 days agoOne of my favorite funfacts about the Colbert Report is that many conservatives couldn’t tell it was satire.
So much so that Colbert earlier on was regularly invited to things like White House Dinner with Bush and Conservative Conferences. Even when he ended the show he claimed he had a lot of fan mail from Republicans saying they’d miss “Having a sane voice of reason on an otherwise liberal media network.”
Some Conservative Subreddits even had to have guidelines explaining he was satire, some claiming he was a straight up “Left Wing Disinformation Agent!”
I don’t think it’s gonna work as well because people could afford to eat Big Macs everyday back then. No joke, the economic situation is so dire I’m saving up to treat myself and my boyfriend to a fancy dinner date…
The dinner is at fucking Waffle House
