Empathy. Understanding what causes emotional reactions and building on that rather than doing your own routine and being mad others won't agree with you.

Conservative comedians continually get "canceled" because their act only punches down and makes fun of other people, so their content only resonates with their own demographic. They lose audience because their content goes stale. There's a difference between the punchline being that the target is gay vs the punchline being what a gay person does and capturing that nuance. Adam Corolla had the same boring complaints about society, about economy cars, about not seeing enough tits, about sucking dick, over and over. Robin Williams was the full spectrum of range from Good Will Hunting to his stand up to his Genie and Doubtfire and Birdcage (separating from acting because of his amount of successful adlib).

Conservative actors only know one role: their idealized selves. I bet you they're a tough guy with no emotional range, shadowing John Wayne pretending to be a cowboy. Joe Pesci is a real NYC tough guy. That's his act, condescending tough guy. Even with his peak of comedic performance, Vinny, he was just the same character but brought hilarity by being woefully out of place for the plot. Robert De Niro was a theater kid. He makes bank as a mobster but imagine trying to watch Pesci play Captain Shakespeare in Stardust.

Conservative painters/physical media artists... I can't think of any. Maybe I'm just uninformed. Closest I can think of are some photographers that produce images I call "informational" rather than artistic. Capturing a moment in time as if the street view car just drove by, not capturing a mood or feeling.

Anyway, I wonder if the handedness is actually rooted in which kids were tormented in a strict Christian school vs who had a more explorative and welcoming upbringing. Not that people don't come out as lefties alter, but that's gotta hamper their skill-honing years for art.

conservative actors tend to gravitate towards authoritarian roles in movies and show, almost always its a leadership role. people like pratt, sinese, are obsessed with military/police leadership in cinema, they dont like being 2nd place, pratt just made it more obvious because hes a nepo-actor that whined about roles recent years, and sinese had a epiphany when he visited vet hospitals , he started to virtue signal and ingratiate into that community as if hes one of the boys.

good comedians punch up and down and usually learn from thier mistakes, the down usually isnt a way to denigrate a already persecuted group, but conservatives ones always and only target specific groups in a negative way often around race, and against the political "left", they often fail to make fun of said groups, and htey are forced to stitch, edit usually videos in a way it makes them look "owning, a woke leftist".

theres like 2 youtubers showing the "poor and destitute areas of the us" but its almost always targeting BLUE areas that are poor, never the red areas in RED STATES or red areas in blue areas, yea we know you are conservative jumping the hate the left/california train(tyler, and sanitello or whatever is name is)
