Having developed the persona of a right-wing conservative commentator, comedian Stephen Colbert mashes up strongly-held conservative views on several topics to present an hilarious look at what America should be. From strong nuclear families (because, in this age of possible nuclear war, any other type of family would be weird) to conservative views on sex (don't have any, at all. Unless it's to procreate. And then only once, twice, or maybe even three times, though that's pushing it, no one needs that many babies).
Knowing he is right, because his guts tell him that he is, Colbert expounds his views on topics such as race, religion, sports, Hollywood, and alternative media. Written almost a decade before Trump ran for President, Colbert anticipates fake news, and shows that the comedic opinions he holds metastasized into gospel for others who, fifteen years later, are mired to the wishes of a conservative America that never truly existed.
