I remember when this study came out. I was in college and I couldn't believe it. So I asked some conservative classmates and sure enough, they thought Colbert was just the conservative Jon Stewart. One in particular became EXTREMELY mad at me about this study. He got a job in Texas in politics.
People talk about the decline of media literacy but it's been an issue for centuries. Some people really aren't operating on any high level They thought Colbert's Colbert character was a conservative, for instance

The genius of Colbert is that he *is* a conservative. As a Catholic from South Carolina, he understands that culture inside and out -- that’s what made his satire so sharp -- but he rejected their racism and hatred of queer people and that’s what drives them up the bend 😃

I don't think Stephen Colbert is a conservative in real life. Growing up in a conservative household is a pretty traditional recipe for becoming radicalized.
