I think for me it's actually instructive you chose "Drumpf". It was a "Last week tonight" joke that...didn't take off. Tan Suit actually managed to get mainstream media attention and think is a good example of media asymmetry.

Totally fair, and I think conservative media is much dumber than liberal media (NYT isn't perfect, but I enjoy it and it's an objectively excellent product). But it was also a complete failure for the right because it made them sound like they were all 900-year-old decorum-obsessed neurotic weirdos. A nice reminder given that nowadays weirdo neuroses are more associated with the left
You're point well taken though. There are certain stories/jokes that you only understand or get if you're in a particular media bubble. I think it's much more a problem on the right, but yes it's hardly as though the left is immune to it.
