Stewart's 2010 'Rally to Restore Sanity', in which tens of thousands of people marched in DC to loudly proclaim that they believe in nothing in particular and would like to go back to not having to think about politics anymore

The last four decades, in aggregate, of prominent American liberals saying one or another version of "we all want the same thing." Both for where they're wrong and they're right.

it really is. my copy fell apart years ago due to being passed around so much and largely being kept in a pool office.

But yes, America: The Book aged better than a lot of Stewart-era Daily Show bits.

That was the basis of LF's mallard filmore thread, which turned into the political cartoons thread, which gave us dan lacy getting a moderate amount of mainstream attention for drawing pictures of politicians with pancakes on their heads

i am 100% certain that absent any nostalgic connection to star wars, most commentators today would see the rebellion as a band of marauding terrorists because while you may not like the galactic empire, it was a lawfully established galactic empire and if they don't like it well the plucky little rebels should just get out there and VOTE!

an extension of that being disney, the massive international corporation with an immensely influential voice in western politics, incorporating the stormtroopers into their children's theme parks as soon as loving possible because it's an insanely convenient costume choice to have a bunch of faceless foot soldiers operating as the face of Star Wars for a global empire

E: and, also, that star wars' moral compass operates exclusively on horse shoe theory lmao

Speaking of which: white American audiences being mad that the leads of the new movies were a black man and a white woman being Jedis together, so Disney nerfed the black character.

And then blamed China.
