    Does blue Maga realize they’re literally indistinguishable from red Maga.

    That was literally the Maga argument for Trump in 2016 “he’s not a politician but he knows how to hire the best people so he’ll just have a great set of advisors and cabinet members that will do everything”

      Biden has been an incredibly competent president and there are hours upon hours and hours of him speaking cogently.

      This is Jon jumping on a narrative that just is based on patent fabrication.

      I have to ask you: if the clips of Biden gaffes were coming from Fox, would we all be taking them at face value? Is it possible to conceive that the same kind of thing is happening with other outlets? It’s wholesale fabrication of a narrative. It’s really harrowing to watch.

      The man regularly gives the State of the Union for fuck’s sake! We watch him speak for literal hours!

      And yes, Jon throws in a little disclaimer at the end to the effect of “I’m not saying that these candidates aren’t vibrant and capable.” The issue with there is that he JUST spent fifteen minutes doing just that.

      I grew up watching Stewart and his work has helped shape my worldview and help me sniff out BS but this is really disappointing.

      I get that anti-Trump comedy is super stale and he wants to come out of the gates fresh and with punchy material, but it’s just so… South Park circa 2002.

        apparently it didn’t because I can say the exact same thing I just kept learning and now im a communist.

        I would take the clips at face value.
