Iirc (it’s been some time), the justifications that Colbert gave for why conservatives actually believe certain things were unironically what conservatives believe.
I began to realize he was making fun of conservatives when the audience would laugh at places that didn’t make sense.
Thanks for responding honestly! It’s wild to me as it so was so obviously satire and mocking those beliefs from my point of view. Good job at looking at what was happening and changing your way of thought.
I watched it pretty regularly. It took longer than it should have for me to realize that it was a satire.
Maybe three seasons in?
Curious what made it seem so genuine at the time?

Must have been all those “waving American flags” animations. Oh, and that eagle.
Honestly, yes.
