And i feel bad for conservatives or trumptards who cant enjoy comedy at all in 2018 anymore. I mean, how can they enjoy all the direct hits to their worldview?

Are u conservative? What do you even watch for a laugh? Old Adam Sandler movies or some shit?

On the contrary, Colin Quinn, PJ O'Rourke & Dennis Miller are very funny & still going strong.  I'm just not into the cheap laugh standup stuff.  I miss "Tough Crowd" & the group he had there (like Patrice - may he RIP).

I've gone to a few live stand-up comedy shows and always look for the conservatives when they talk about Trump. I never see any obvious ones but I'd love to see their faces. 

Recently saw Helen Hong. She's pretty great live. Have only ever heard her on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me so it was a blast to see the comedy without radio restrictions.

Your mistake is considering Trump to be a Conservative (5B for a wall is not a Conservative value)...and no, I don't consider him to be a Liberal either.

I forgot someone who has gone back to stand-up, despite being seriously ill, "The Amazing Johnathan".  BTW - most the Left-leaning comics I like(d) are either dead (i.e. Carlin), doing podcasts/talk shows (i.e. Maron) or gone off the deep end (i.e. Maher).  I'm not a fan of anyone that uses their stardom to get "preachy" in a "I know better than anyone how everyone should live" way.

Id watch funny stuff from another angle if it was as easy to find

Aye, and there's the rub.  It isn't easy to find.  Real comics take risks, they don't just sing with the choir.  I'm not saying that they should sing the praises of the POTUS, but a good comic should make you think and laugh with a little bit of an uncomfortable feeling.  Carlin could.  Maher used to.  Quinn & his "Tough Crowd" group did (and nearly came to blows doing it).

Any stand up on Netflix is pre-approved, cookie cutter bullshit. Find the lowest hanging fruit that will make the lowest common denominator clap and then you profit. No risk at all.

Obviously you haven't watched any. Dave Chappelle basically took the less popular side of the #metoo movement and it didn't even make the news.

You're using Dave Chappelle as an example? He has the status to say whatever he wants, for the most part. You'll remember after the election that he went on SNL and asked people to give Trump a chance and there was backlash about it. It was minor, but it was there. Also, I think a lot of people think the metoo movement has the potential to go way too far, so it's not nearly as controversial to say.

And for you, it's "One evening with the cheap laughs".

Ok link a funny conservative YouTube vid of a conservative comedian that was filmed after 2016 and ill watch it. Since you know all about top tier stand up. Shouldn't be too hard.

I saw the amazing Jonathan in Vegas... He was shattered drunk and sweat like 50 lbs... Was not like his standup... I figured he was on a bender.

Oh no. Trump isn't really a conservative at all. Maybe a social conservative. He's definitely using the social conservatives for his base though, and they love him. He's even pandering to fiscal conservatives like you, though since that ideology only serves the wealthy and fucks everyone else over, he'd be stupid not to. 

Trump only cares about Trump. No one else. But many conservatives drank the koolaid. I knew those like you would find him distasteful and I'm glad, but he has won his share of supporters and that's why he controls the entirety of the Republican party.
