    “Humor” is how the body copes with getting unexpected information. A crafted joke sets up an expectation, then subverts it. Every joke is essentially that. Have you ever heard a conservative “joke” where you didn’t see the punchline coming from a mile away. That’s why they only have “one joke” for every topic.

      They laugh because they aren’t used to things that don’t fit their ridged norms. “Trans person funny because they shouldn’t exist lol” 🤪
