    Twitter owner Elon Musk explained during an interview this week why the political Left is no longer funny, saying that it's because they no longer believe in things that are true.

    Musk made the remarks during an interview with the Babylon Bee that was released in full on Wednesday. The interview came after Twitter's previous censorship of the Babylon Bee was one of the things that sparked Musk's interest in buying the company.

    "What do you like to watch in terms of comedy and entertainment?" Kyle Mann, Editor-in-chief of the Babylon Bee, asked Musk. "I know you share a lot of memes and, you know, obviously comment on some Babylon Bee articles and stuff like that. You commented, you tweeted one time about how wokeness is destroying comedy ... it was, you can't write come comedy from a leftist place of wokeness because there's no truth claim. I'm butchering it."

    "The essence of a lot of comedy is a revealed truth, like a hidden truth that people understand, intuitively or explicitly," Musk responded. "And there's that sort of moment of reveal, you know, kernel of truth, of often unacknowledged truth. And in that unacknowledged truth is the humor."

    "So if you're premised on a lie, you can no longer be funny, because there's no revealed truth," he added. "And this is, you know, why a lot of people on the Left have no sense of humor. They're not funny. And if they're, if there's so many no fly zones, you know, that you have to, you have to avoid all the time then ... there's nothing left to make fun about."

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.
