Colbert's been taking cheap shots since at least 2017, creating a corrosive atmosphere of disrespect very nearly devoid of any real point on any issue, and quite demonstrably unfunny besides. Mirroring Trump? Only one of them has won two elections and 21 SCOTUS cases
They see it-they just don't care just like they don't care POTUS and his crew of bootlicking fellow grifters are ruining their-and their childrens' lives because "owning the libs" and "punishing those non-whites who are totally the real reason their lives are shitty is going to make them wealthy and happy.
He is so unfunny that he was a member of one of the most well known improv comedy troupes, starred in several well known comedy shows, led two comedy shows named after himself, won a Grammy for best comedy album and had a NYT #1 bestselling comedy book. He's also so hated that he has multiple species, a (delicious) ice cream flavor and a treadmill on the ISS named after him.
Yeah I was never as interested in the newer one as I was the Colbert Report so I think it's probably that. He's still got it sometimes but I've got my taste.
Possibly just a cultural thing, I hate the talk show format and it kinda soured me on him because every time I saw a clip of him glazing the guest or doing those shadow boxing monologues.
Was Kirk ever popular while he was alive? He was one of the "debate me" bros but even in that if someone made meme of "change my mind" theme it would not have been Kirk in the meme.
He only really got notable for being assassinated and the Far-Right has been able to whitewash him to be a martyr because the average person didn't even know who he was or what he had said.
He was multiple rungs down the conservative media influencer group. TPUSA did a lot of college debate events, but he was never as big as Shapiro, Crowder, or even Ruben tbh?
And all of them were below folks on Fox.
So...kinda? He was present, but never a major name.
*This is going off my memories of focusing a lot on conservative media from 2016-2020ish(From a leftist pov)
Well groypers are neo-nazis and we all onow that nazis were far left, they even have socialism in their! And a fascist authoritatian state would never lie about their ideals, or what are you going to tell me the DPRK isnt consistsntly in the top 5 of freedom house's rankings?
For context ('cause I'm certainly not familiar with everything that Trump writes), this is what Trump wrote on Truth Social:
Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success. Now, after being terminated by CBS, but left out to dry, he has actually gotten worse, along with his nonexistent ratings. Stephen is running on hatred and fumes ~ A dead man walking! CBS should, “put him to sleep,” NOW, it is the humanitarian thing to do!
This reminds me of when NPR tweeted out the Declaration of Independence and several conservatives got riled at what they perceived as violent rhetoric and biased propaganda against Trump.

After all-"Deer Leedurrr is a REAL, TRUE Patriot who loves and honors the US Constitution and America's laws!-so OBVIOUSLY posting the Constitution is a biased propaganda attack, when it throws a spotlight on his acts!

Just...how do they not see the hypocrisy.
A lot of them may be too dumb to see it, but for the rest it's the point. Watching you get mad at it is what gets them off.
Rage farmers
They see it-they just don't care just like they don't care POTUS and his crew of bootlicking fellow grifters are ruining their-and their childrens' lives because "owning the libs" and "punishing those non-whites who are totally the real reason their lives are shitty is going to make them wealthy and happy.
They get what their brain tells them they want: the dopamine hit.
Sad, isn't it?
Very, yes.
I think they did, thats why they threw in the "WE WON THE ELECTION! AMERICA AGREES WITH US! 😭😭"
Bit at the end.

These people think like Ricky Bobby.
I will say that I find Colbert less funny but it's more of a format / writers' room thing than it is a personal thing, imo.

also Colbert has been taking shot for a hell of a lot longer than that. I miss the Colbert Report
Trump complained about obama the whole tome yet obama didnt break out the facisim. I wonder why?
They are bots, and the rest are either cultists or silenced into "good behavior"
What an unintentially hilarious thing to say, given the context.
A disconnect from reality is a requirement to be a good little cultist.
These people cannot make an accusation that isn't a confession.
They understand the concept of hypocrisy; they know that it's bad, at least.
It's just hard to see that you're doing it when your identity and social standing is tied directly into that cognitive dissonance.
Projection about projection yet again.
Charlie Kirk
Ultra low level now (hell)
Ooohhh, burn!
Apparently, someone who was popular(or at least, gained some momentary notoriety) online(checks notes) fifteen years ago.
Yeah, but he's super duper famous! Everyone knows him as... a guy who once replied to some of Trump's tweets.

Cartman parodied him in the second episode of this season of South Park just before he got shot.
That's a decent barometer
And the dipshit took that as a positive thing. If you're being compared to Cartman, you're not on the right side of anything.
He was notable because of r/ToiletPaperUSA and small face shops. Being funded by PragerU as well.
Kinda?

I know they didn't mean it this way, but I can't help but take that comment sarcastically.
"The violent Left"-like the extremely MAGA two who "attempted to assassinate Deer Leedurrr!"
And the extremely maga that successfully assassinated that Kirk guy
Yeah, I was SHOCKED! to learn groypers were leftists-who knew?
Well groypers are neo-nazis and we all onow that nazis were far left, they even have socialism in their! And a fascist authoritatian state would never lie about their ideals, or what are you going to tell me the DPRK isnt consistsntly in the top 5 of freedom house's rankings?

So MAGA got baited, and now they have to pretend that Trump's words change meaning when a liberal says them.
Yepper-of COURSE the most horrid things are akshullie gud when they're emitting from his orifice.
In a side-note: Odd how quiet everyone's been about CBS' plan to become State-ran propaganda.
