It absolutely could never have accomplished anything. It's not "regressive" so much as it's "retarded" and you fundamentally misunderstand what Trump is actually doing if you think that namecalling is remotely effective.

People think John Oliver is clever because he was on the amazing hot take that FIFA was corrupt and tobacco companies are bad, instead of stating the obvious. They seem to forget the parts of the show were he is outraged at innocent things like swim suit editions of sports magazines like they 30's moralist preacher thinking it's going to lead to men mass raping women on the streets or the dozen other surface issues that don't matter or effect anything and just are outrage of the week pieces.

It's true. There is a big difference between saying someone is lame or a gaywad, and unraveling the extremely thin facade polticians put up. Trump didn't win by calling Jeb four eyes, he won by pointing out Jeb obviously went to image consultants and those glasses tested poorly with among 50 or random jackasses and decided to wear contacts in order to poll better.

Lots of non-Trump GOP voters have him as their second choice and loads of Bernie voters would rather vote for him than Hillary.

I'm pretty confident that the number of Bernie supporters who would rather vote for him than Hillary is overstated. We'll see, I guess, but I've only ever seen anecdotal evidence about this.

quote:

Trump simultaneously has no positions (beyond building a wall I guess) and every position, which is how so many people justify switching their vote to an outright fascist from a kind old social democrat

I agree with this, though. There's a shitton of projection going on w/r/t Trump's positions.

To be fair, Clinton is a bloodthirsty warmonger and Trump, for all his bluster, appears to have a heart

He supports torture and the outright murder of suspected terrorists' families. He also advocates sending U.S. troops to seize ISIS' oil.:psyduck:

but Trump's facade is also extremely thin, he is a big bloviating egomaniac. No one took him seriously. I mean, do the thought experiment of going back in time to 2013 and start telling everyone you can "TRUMPS GONNA BE PRESIDENT! GONNA BE PRESIDENT!" and see how far you get.

I'm pretty much 100% with Matt Taibbi on this, Trump knows how beauty pageants work and knows how reality TV works and the presidential election is a reality TV beauty pageant. I hate the media and both establishments, but just because I think they're all terrible doesn't mean I also think Trump is good; I've just accepted the thousand year Trumpenreich is the inevitable state of things and its what America deserves for her sins.

I think that he loves doing that as well, but just because it makes it look easy doesn't it is or that Oliver's unfunny joke playing well on twitter for a couple of days means it has real staying power or illuminating as to his success.

Trump has weathered insults and accusations of racism, sexism, and tons of negative press forever. He thrived. People ignored him and tried taking the high road. He thrived.

Here's the difference, he's outright admitting it. From his damned caps and shirts to his pitch of being "too rich to be bought". Laughing the Emperor when he wears no clothes only works when the Emperor and everyone has the false pretense he's wearing any, he's openly waving his dick around.

That's true, but to say that namecalling isnt effective in the context of Donald Trump is still very funny.

Is he, though? I think he's making it extremely clear to us, but his supporters do seem to be taking him at his word.

It's not just "pointed barbs about their transparent nature", it's making GBS threads all over pretty much everybody and anybody. But yeah, that works because that's the image he always has projected. Being 100% shameless is a great cloak of invincibility.

Donald Trump Gets AIDS In A New Movie, And That Has Studio Execs In A Panic

quote:

At the film's world premiere in London last week, the Daily Telegraph reported that the Trump moment was met with "loud cheering." The Metro newspaper called it a "massive cheer." A viewer at a different screening tweeted, "Went to watch Grimsby and the whole cinema clapped when Donald Trump got given AIDS in it."

It's amazing how people think John Oliver is some sort of amazing, progressive intellectual; when in reality all he does is perpetuate the outrage culture thats currently consuming the left. His high-pitched, heavily accented voice is insufferable alone.
