Colbert's ratings are down. Republicans are refusing to watch him. Indeed, they are afraid to be challenged.
According to a poll published by The Hollywood Reporter, it seems that Colbert has a GOP problem. Only 17 percent of Colbert’s viewers are Republican compared to 31 percent for Fallon and 33 percent for Kimmel. While Kimmel is clearly the comedian that most appeals to Republican viewers, both he and Fallon have a fairly balanced split between parties. Colbert, in contrast, does not.
So why don’t Republicans like him? According to Callum Borchers in the Washington Post, the problem is that Colbert takes positions that will enrage the GOP on topics like the Syrian refugees. When he goes after these issues he tends to skewer the GOP, exposing the flaws to their logic, mocking their twisted so-called values, and revealing their penchant for re-writing history. Borcher tells us “Colbert knows how to bring down the house by painting conservatives as a bunch of backward xenophobes. He’s one of the best at it.”
Recent studies have suggested that there is a significant intelligence gap between Democrats and Republicans. It is smart humor and it is a sort of humor one never sees on Fallon or Kimmel. Even more importantly it is the sort of humor that is much less likely to appeal to Republican viewers because it depends on questioning beliefs and criticizing the status quo.
This is true..my brother is a Jesus freak and he talks shit about Colbert all the time, refusing to watch.

Why are people expected to watch a show that isn't funny AND pushes an agenda you don't agree with? I'm conservative but The Colbert Report, Jon Stewart (until the last few years), and Bill Maher are at least can be funny, sometimes.
Why would I want to watch a preachy, uppity liberal who has yet to prove himself as a late night show host?
He's acting like Letterman, Carson and Leno ain't got shit on him, and yet he's a kek with a raging boner for the liberal hot topic of the week and a personal crusade against anyone who disagrees with king nigger and his cohorts.

He should look at past Letterman and Carson tapings and notice neither of them got political. Still shilling for the Democrats means you've lost half your potential audience already and a fair number of Dems still cringe at the stretch his jokes go to make fun of conservatives.
The reddit live audience also doesn't help as well when they have zero social awareness that booing a guest makes the viewer at home feel uncomfortable and changes channel.

This. other late night talk show hosts are liberal but they don't make that their focus because it turns off their audience.
How many years in a row can you watch a guy say the same shit with the same delivery? Especially when there are four other people doing the exact same thing. The audience who watch this shit are just obsessed with irony, sarcasm and analogies that validate their world views.

Im not a republican but am a conservative, although thats not why i don't watch colbert. i used to watch the report all the time and liked his satirical take on politics. The Late Show is just boring and he can't do the late night medium very well. Honestly I preferred David Letterman. Heck I preferred Craig Ferguson and his show was usually laughably bad production values and hacky jokes. Colbert is just really really boring and its disappointing because id expected him to be great. Its too mish-mash of the old report political satire, poorly mixed in with the traditional Late Night format, and combined with Fallon style bullshit antics. Also he hasnt been getting good guests, which i assume is in part due to the dismal ratings and being based in NYC instead of LA. To me it just seems like Colbert is really trying to make the show his own or unique in anyway, like he previously had done with the Report.
To compare the intelligence of Democrats and Republicans seems like a massive waste of time to me. Thankfully im not either and can ignore both or engage with either as I see fit. With Colbert it just hasnt been worth bothering to watch.

in my opinion its hypocritical for the govt to define marriage a certain way when it gives certain benefits to certain types of "marriage" in my opinion govt has no place in marriage at all.
abortion is trickier and arguably not hypocritical since the protection of individual rights can mean unborn babies so i wouldn't say its really hypocritical i just happen to be prochoice during the first trimester. but it could be argued its a part of big govt.
but that doesn't mean i'm so naive to think that the right is anywhere near as hypocritical or as supportive of big govt as the left is.
the left who tries to destroy industries tax the fuck out of us, outlaw smoking in private establishments, regulate businesses out of business, restrict our choices, mandate we give thousands of dollars a year to corrupt insurance companies, protect huge corporations etc.
the right rightfully gets exposed for some of their hypocrisies the left never does.

What you're saying is that liberals and reality are the same thing. Conservatives are crying because reality isn't the same as their fantasy. Conservatives want to be tucked in at night by grandfather Reagan and told that the free market magic will fix the world by magic and they don't need to think about anything. But that's not reality. Liberals and reality go together. Conservatives and fantasy go together. Eventually conservatives have to grow up and face reality.

Economically speaking, I generally agree. However, on the ideological side, Europe has produced a weak and horrifically emasculated culture that is begging to be supplanted by something perceived as strong and virile. Europe's tenure as a shining beacon to democratic socialism will end in about 10 years when those conservative Muslims start outbreeding European natives.
Hell, in many European countries today, the number of Middle Eastern immigrant births far outweighs the number of native births. The Europeans are on borrowed time and most of them don't even know it.
>>63050410
not even economically speaking. see >>63050387
and given their tiny white populations relative to the USA's its saying even less. not to mention their anemic economic growth and reliance on american innovation.
Europe is a dying old man
>>63050410
Strong and virile cultures as you call them have no place in the modern world. This isn't the 14th century. We're not fighting Mongol hordes. And even when we did, the strong masculine Europeans lost every fight. In the modern world the fights are won by effeminate tech geeks far from the front line. The masculine fighters of ISIS get obliterated by nerds 2,000 miles away piloting drones. The world has changed. Conservative ideals worked in the stone age. They don't work in the tech age. Adapt or die. Conservatives are dying. Literally. The Middle East is conservative as fuck and they are dying by the hundreds of thousands in the war against the liberal West. And we wouldn't have it any other way. No one wants to be some conservative backwards Africa or Middle Eastern Nation. We all recognize the superiority of the liberal West in every facet of life.

What a convenient imaginary metric.
You faggots are poorer than Americans and you live in places that have no freedom of speech or right to bare arms. Your income goes to pay for free heroin-needles for addicts and covering the health-costs of fat people and smokers.
So by what metric is your "standard of living" higher when libshit countries are poorer, less free and more economically dependent than my country?

Islam is losing this fight. A lot. Have you even seen the numbers? It's around 1,000:1 kdr in favor of the West. The breeding numbers don't even favor them. China learned a long time ago that run away population growth hurts you. The Middle East is in full collapse with the petrodollar in decline. There is no future for Islam. You are witnessing the final death throws of an archaic and doomed culture.

probably around 16. 4chan might have influenced me a lot in that regard. conservatives are painted as a dying breed of ignorant old people in the liberal mythos and 4chan showed me that that's not really the case. i think the real driving factor was a growing sense of cynicism though. socialism relies on the notion that man can be permanently conditioned to be moral and selfless but reality suggests that that's impossible.

The breeding numbers almost certainly favor them in European countries, anon. It doesn't matter how many you kill in the Middle East itself, what matters is how you curb the populations that are growing in Europe. With the projected influx of refugees from the ME going up every single time another Islamic majority country gets destabilized by the West, this continued policy of constant warfare does nothing but displace their populations into countries that are naive enough to take them.

Yeah, remember when Republicans publicly boycotted a restaurant franchise because they couldn't bare to eat a chicken sandwich made by a company that didn't agree with their politics?
Remember when they called it "an evil attempt to suppress minority voters" when a simple deterrent for voter fraud was proposed?
Remember how they forced businesses to pay sluts for contraception? Because birth-control isn't anybody's business but the woman's.....which is why the company has to pay for it.
Remember when they tried to lynch an innocent man for defending himself against a violent attacker solely because the attacker was black, and when the courts wouldn't hang him they just resorted to ruining that man and his family's lives?
Remember when they got a Mozilla CEO fired for the crime of being morally opposed to altering legislation to please gays?
Remember when Republicans started a "White Lives Matter" movement, and then used it as an excuse to light Baltimore on fire?

In the US, the white population went from 90% of the overall population all the way down to 63% in a few generations. By 2030 (or even sooner by some projections) we're going to be a minority majority country. If Europe continues to let it's Muslims breed unchecked, and if Europeans themselves don't improve their native birth rates, you'll see the exact same decline in your white population.

With the exception of Fox and talk radio (who the majority are too busy working to listen to), conservatives are bombarded with liberalism non-stop everyday, from every entertainment and media source. Why would they willing choose to subject themselves to arguably the most condescending and patronizing liberal on television?
It was slightly different when Colbert had his own show. He was playing a character. Now he's just talking down to everyone. In contrast, Kimmel and Fallon are fairly apolitical and don't go on ten minutes rants about how Donald Trump is evil.
Late night talk shows are supposed be light-hearted fluff. Letterman was a liberal, but he was an entertainer first. Colbert's hosting is especially toxic if you consider that the overwhelming majority of late night viewers are old people, who heavily lean conservative.
Thing is, CBS doesn't even care. They're all progressives, and care more about liberal street cred then ratings. So long as he's not a complete disaster, he'll stay there for a long time.

>You mean to support Chic-Fil-A's right to freedom of speech?
What are you on about? They have that right. There's nothing protecting them from the backlash it produced. That's their own responsibility, I think as a business it was a very very stupid and uninformed move (go figure).
I think there is a discrepancy of what people want, But I think the leading trend is that people want laws that are able to change and that can be scrutinized. Trying to make laws directly linked to a religious institution is usually not a very good idea, since you have to deal with "holy laws" and how unchangeable they are. Not to mention it's only really taking into consideration one group.
It's just a mess, But I think the Republican party was a political ideology that simply countered the liberal way of lawmaking. Now it's full of theocrats and lunatics, which is a shame because some laws can benefit a more conservative approach, but not a religious one.

why does it matter how many donuts the rich can buy?
if we're not running out of donuts why do i care if the rich have more donuts? my ability to buy donuts is not relative to the amount the rich can buy because there is not a shortage of donuts.
liberals look at wealth as a finite pie that the rich keep taking more of. but the fact is the pie is constantly growing and the rich having more pie does not mean less pie for anyone else.
>>63051518
I think you're generalizing a bit. there are liberals that are falling into the socialist bandwagon, but I don't subscribe to that because I've seen what it does, and who it benefits. I believe people are allowed to earn success, income equality is a bullshit trap that people buy into.
>>63051553
it is basically.
you think that wealth is finite and when mark zuckerberg makes another 10 billion that is 10 billion he is taking away from everyone else.
imagine an island, where everyone is hungry and fishes with their hands, does the man who invents and sells a fishing pole and become rich make the islanders poorer or richer?
is the wealth of the island the same as it was before the invention of the fishing pole?

Of course millenials tuned in for a while to see. They were impressed, love it, but truth be told, they don't normally watch late night shows and they went back to their lives. No he has the job of starting a bit better off than Letterman and then building that audience. CBS was in 3rd. They had a couple weeks in first and now they're back to third. It was a short burst.
