Maybe it's the presentation, but I haven't seen too much humour in the "progressive" jokes here.

Is it a difference in "humour" in the USA compared to Australia, or is the humour found in the fact that someone considered them humourous to begin with?

Who Is Trump's Favorite Audience?

All comedy is subjective, and usually one has to have things like an understanding context of a joke and willingness to find something humorous. I think a lot of people on the conservative side mistake progressive people as humorless that only get offended by jokes, but to the progressive jokes that conservative people will use are based on making fun of people who are already a victim of some sort, or at least they are the last to realize they are mocking an oppressed group which is kind of super lazy.

I made a trans joke earlier, and I think that is an area worth retouching, because I think that is something that more Right wing complain that they are being silenced in not being able to make jokes about. But you would actually find that many trans people make jokes about their trans experience, I believe it was a ContraPoints video where she admitted that the concept is ripe for comedy, it is just that jokes can be made without dehumanizing oppressed people or playing down real important issues.

In fact there is like a huge uptick of those leaning on the Left using a lot of comedy about a subject, while also with a progressive or anti-conservative message; on YouTube being ContraPoints liked I mentioned above, Philosophy Tube, hbomberguy, Some More News, Creationist Cat (he is super non PC) and you can see major American TV shows like John Oliver and many of the late night shows like Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert. Many of them are just as much comedy as education around Left subjects. In Australia you can even look to much of the comedy news shows you could find on ABC like The Weekly.

No one can force you to find them funny.

Maybe you're just offended by the jokes you don't deem politically correct. Politically correct is relative to the audience, the jokes that will offend an audience of deplorables and the jokes that will offend SJWs aren't the same but both will offer opinions about what is acceptable.

Not sure where you got the idea I was offended...I was just trying to work out where the "humour" was in a "joke" such as:

and:


All I was looking for was enlightenment as to the "humour" in these (for example)...Or at the very least an explanation of them (I assume they mean something to a person in the USA, but to this Australian, they don't appear, on first glance, to make any sense).

As to the following:


I can see the "humour" some would see in it (assuming the upcoming election goes "their" way), but can also imagine the hilarity from the other side should Mr Trump win and the republicans take both the house and senate (as unlikely as this may be to occur) and how they would suddenly find it completely lacking in "humour" at that time.

NEWS FLASH!
