Oh yes, it's definitely possible. But it's not possible for conservative comedians, because their brains are swiss cheese. Conservatives don't respect comedians, they only respect extremely wealthy white men, or soldiers, or car dealership owners. Any conservative comedian is going to have internal self-hatred built into it.

I've seen a few chuds doing open mike or small shows at a local comedy venue I go to sometimes. They're always like that. It's always like a one-man surreal theater where you watch a guy grapple with emotional trauma he's externalized as hatred of women or gay people or whatever. It's exactly like you said, they can't see the perspective of anyone else because they're wrapped in a bubble of self-loathing they're refusing to acknowledge

I'm more situational humor than a stand up kinda guy, like I'm hilarious, no brag just fact irl, but it's not joke telling to someone, it's joking around with someone based. Like, I can improv super well but improv is just theater kids and they aren't funny. I'm funny in person cause I set people up to set set me up for punchlines, or just being really good at quips. I'd like to have a go at stand up but I'm afraid all I'd do is crowd work cause thst feels safe as hell to me. I just make people around me the straight man and work from that.
