Another clumsy, tone-deaf attempt at conservative ‘comedy’.

They’ll never understand that good comedy punches up, not down. “Woke” is an awareness of, and opposition to, injustice, pettiness, vindictiveness, and abuse of power.

Ranting against “woke” allies one with the oppressors, and oppression is never funny.
