    I dunno, I think that one is more of a jab at how conservatives don't have any material critiques against Biden, and also that these shows are wildly unfunny and use this exact joke dozens of times per episode. I think he's somewhat more radical than your average lib, although likely not a full blown commie either

      hmmm I think all of these are very smartly done because you can kind of read them in multiple different ways and take from it what you want. the tone of smug superiority toward the reader is conveyed in any case. which everyone (including me) loves and is susceptible to. It's a question of how you read them on the scale between literal and ironic.
