Colin's show 'Red State Blue State' is praised for showing regional cultural differences comedically rather than as threats; they discuss how zealots and extremists now dominate political discourse, reducing everyone to either 'groomers' or 'Nazis.'
- We've stopped seeing regional differences comedically and started seeing them as threatening.
- Social media zealots and extremists set the cultural tone because moderate people aren't funny.
- Red State Blue State worked because it was about culture and environment, not ideology.
- Trying to get central Texas and Tacoma on the same page is futile—the country is fundamentally regional.
- If you characterize everyone as either groomers or Nazis, there's no room for compromise or discussion.
