Louis CK can jokes about pedos and yet it is hilarious and generally well-received. This joke gives strong "I identify as an attack helicopter" energy. It is not funny, and he's basically just repeating the shitty talking points of right-wing pundits, and without sarcasm. It is humour-by-applause, it is not meant to be a satirical joke, but to have people who agree applause and cheers.
