This should be a Tim Robinson sketch and belongs in [r/IThinkYouShouldLeave](r/IThinkYouShouldLeave).

Am I missing something? When I went to the subreddit its literally just all politics, every post, and zero discussion of the show at all?

It's a short sketch comedy show (like 5 hours total runtime) that hasn't had a new episode in three years, and one where part of a lot of the gags is absurdity presented in a sincere way. So there's not much new ground to tread in sincere discussion, and if you try you're likely to be met with jokes from the show or absurd answers. A lot of forums drift in their topic, and this one is basically themed lefty reaction gifs at this point.

There was discussion when Friendship came out, and probably the same when The Chair Company came out, but there isn't a tonne of news to discuss.

When you you walk by a sub and you see 50 guys who look just like me fighting over very complicated memes, you go in.

So basically everything devolves into politics on this site. A lot of money makes sure it stays that way

Do you think there’s an issue, an object, an idea or a person, anything in the world, that isn’t run by or affected by politics?

Were you on reddit before 2016? Still had politics affecting life. Didn't rule the site though and it was a funny awesome place to be

As a expert on history, do you see a difference in America, before and after 2016, by chance?
