One's I've dealt with were on board in 2016 but were tired of his poo poo by 2020, and real tired of his poo poo now. I wouldn't say they're overtly 'anti-Trump' but they'd wish the guy would go away so they could go back to screwing the poors on the quiet and exploiting poor and immigrant labor. Their main complaints with him are he's destroying the party and is an embarrassment.

The establishment GOP thinks Trump is an embarrassment, Trump thinks his supporters are an embarassment, and the base thinks the establishment GOP is an embarrassment.

In short, lol

I meant TDS had a place in the 2000s in at least getting youngs to pay attention. Current youngs actually vote so not sure what he’s bringing to the table other than warm feelings to old millennials

And yeah youngs don’t have cable so they wouldn’t hear him anyway

There's a pretty fair argument to make that, even at the time of The Daily Show's height of popularity, pointing out Republican hypocrisy accomplished nothing.

Today? Fascists revel in hypocrisy, the exercise of power that comes from the schoolyard bully saying "Hat? What hat? I don't have your hat. Do you guys see a hat on my head?" is precisely what the base wants. They'll never concede that they're bad people when all someone does is threaten them with a good time and owning the libs.
stewart wanted to be a tv comedy guy and everyone wanted him to be a leader.

he was on tv every night going "lookit what they said!! wakka wakka!"
and millions of people would be lijke "yeah! that sucks! what should we do??"
and stewart would reply "i don't kjnow, wakka wakka!!"

it's not his fault he was looked to as a leader. but, at the same time, with that much power he had he could have been a really effective leader, but he hated the idea so much he's horseshoeing

A dude I worked with had a "death in the family, my cousin who I was super close to" a couple days before Halloween, and they begrudgingly allowed him to have Halloween off.

He then posted a shitload of party pics on Facebook, forgetting that he was friends with 2 supes, including the one that let him off.

Never saw that guy again.

It didn’t do anything in the 2000s either or Bush wouldn’t have had 2 terms lol. I mean it was a good show but it did not result in societal change. The attention did not manifest as votes. Possibly because the same network was airing “nothing matters both sides suck” via South Park idk

And yeah nobody under like 40 is going to see him on cable tv anyway at this stage

Wait, hold up… 26000? In two years? As in, 13000 a year and those are just the rapes ending with pregnancies? I know it’s a hosed up state but that seems to be super high compared to, well, anywhere.

Most Millennials were in or just out of high school when Jon Stewart was at the top of his game at his most relevant. Zoomers and Alphas sure won't give a poo poo about who he is or why he's coming back.

He's coming back for the same reason they remade Mulan and Jurassic Park and the Matrix: he's a safe bet to drag in an audience that has largely abandoned them.

Particularly not when it's being delivered by the aforementioned anti-vaxxer that they're bringing back to TDS.

I feel I must correct that unless someone presents evidence to the contrary, "presents a theory for comedy that maybe he takes a little too seriously/as fact which he never should have done at all because any humor that it provides is vastly outpaced by it providing justification to the loons that they're right" does not mean 'anti-vaxxer'. Have to be careful with these games of telephone.

Not defending Texas but there are nearly 30 million people in that state and they're not even in the top ten states for rape per capita

I understand that people in this thread have made excellent nuanced points about why Donald J Trump was the perfect storm in 2016 for Olds and racists to latch onto based on his past, but I just want to re-iterate the main reason they still ALL say why they vote for him: "He thinks like we do, he's just like us, he says what we are all thinking"

They are just extremely racist and hate women and LGBTQ people. That's it. There is no secret code or algorithm of Businessman that they admire and respect, no policy they can point to, no grand agenda. He's just an old rich white racist mysognist pig gently caress just like them, and that's what they want, because they think THEY should be in charge. He's just a 215 pound mirror shooting their morbid reflections back at them. They just hate those groups and want to be able to openly say and do whatever they want.

This country is deeply racist and mysognist, we are loving built on it. Add to that the most narcissist generation of people in human history, combined with a bunch of misanthrope tech bro social darwinist bullshit and prosperity gospel grift for 40 loving years, and no real attempt to ever actually remove these fuckwits from actual power, and you have this: a bunch of extremely racist old and aging idiot men and women, whiteness personified regardless of actual background. No thoughts of others, no thoughts of the future, just tell me it's cool to hate the people I hate.

Like it's actually really simple: they just utterly suck as a group of human beings, and have been allowed to continue sucking for a long time because of white supremacy and mysoginy at the institutional level, because "being racist, homophobic, sexist" Pigs was to many just an unfortunate and sometimes humorous to them fact of their "kooky" relatives, and society didn't call them out and cast them out any near enough, so they got more and more bold till we have this now.

You can't appease a narcissist or compromise with them, because they don't even see that as an option: they win, you lose

Your relatives always sucked, he just let's them feel safe to say it out loud.

I don't want to wipe out any state, just erase a lot of lines, like the ones that separate wyoming, navanda , montana, the dakotas, Idaho, Arizona, the other three four-corner-states.

it''d be funny to watch them fight it out, only to just homogenize perfectly.
