This is what most right wingers don’t seem to understand. Know your audience. If I make a shocking or offensive joke I know exactly who’s going to hear it, and I’m pretty sure how they will react.
Oh, they understand. They want to sit behind the safe wall of societal expectations that you won’t beat their face in, and make the jokes because they want to spread their hate and for you to be shocked, not for you to laugh at something stupid and absurd. That’s the real difference. If I tell a joke that touches on something like race or religion, it’s because the absurdity of it is funny. When they tell them, they believe the joke and the ‘reality’ of it is why it’s funny.
