You’re not the only one wondering what happened to the definition of the word humor. I also see so many webcomics that I think only someone whose age is in the single digits would actually find funny get posted & receive all sorts of positive responses. I just don’t understand - is it because there’s so much less in-person social interaction than there used to be? I don’t get it.
I know I’m getting old so it’s increasingly difficult to find amusing stuff I haven’t seen before, but a LOT of this shit is stuff I’m pretty sure even thoroughly clueless teenager me wouldn’t have found funny. I’ve always felt my perspectives and preference for the truth no matter how ugly put me on the outside looking in at the rest of the human race, but the feeling of disassociation from the rest of humanity is reaching heights I didn’t think were possible.
As stated, these are facts - I’m missing the humor.
This is some Facebook tier garbage.
It sucks that “political humor” just means blatant circlejerk instead of actual humor.
It also sucks that some mouthbreather is going to interpret this criticism as an endorsement of trump.

Someone posted this in a comment somewhere today. It’s a decade old, but probably more accurate than ever.
