The Colbert of 2012 feels like a completely different person from the Colbert of 2023 and not just because he was playing a character. He was a lot more cutting back then and everything wasn’t just about Trump.
It was all about the absolute shit show that was the GOP on its death spiral into an extremist dominated organization. Now that Trump dominates the GOP he gets dominant coverage.

That’s because trump wasn’t taken seriously by any political party in 2012

Same schtick.
