I remember reading about a trend where unfunny and usually problematic comedians will dive into right wing politics, because they will always have a platform and an audience. Rob Schneider immediately comes to mind.
Maggie Mae Fish has a video on this topic comparing, in fact, Rob Schneider's parody of comedy to Tim Heidecker's satire of conservative comedy.
"[revealing...] the hollowness and existential dread at the core of conservative humor"
Beautiful! It's the same over 'ere in Europe.
