"Only ppl who are part of the group know how to make fun of that group" isnt universally true, and right wingers are just easy to mock
RW povs are also hegemonic. It's the same reason black people know how to make fun of white people and not vice versa. Everybody is involved in white "culture" whether they want to be or not. Likewise, reqctionary politics surround us. We all get a chance to see it in detail
I think it's more "people who understand a group are better at making fun of that group." most of us understand right wingers fairly well, since we are surrounded by them every day and their paper thin skin and toddler tantrums over whatever thing the tv has told them to be scared of this week.
