Saturday low information voter joke

There was a liberal  and he was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his boyfriend was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said, “You're beautiful!” and then he fell asleep again. His boyfriend had never heard him say that so he stayed by his side. A couple minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said “You're cute!” Well, the boyfriend was dissapointed because instead of “beautiful” it was “cute.”
He said “What happened to ‘beautiful’?
His reply was “The drugs are wearing off!”
