Comment on Jon Stewart Calls BS on Trump & the GOP's Performative Patriotism | The Daily Show
rigatti@lemmy.world 3 months agoBush and Trump are entirely different beasts. Bush had the Bush name to give him legitimacy initially and the Iraq war fervor to keep him going. Trump has been publicly a buffoon his entire life and the media failed to properly call him out. We needed a strong media presence to tear him down, and Stewart could have been that.

This is the same Stewart who pulls shit like this thegrayzone.com/…/jon-stewart-pentagon-ukrainian-… , all while posing as a Progressive ally for the cameras. We mistake singularly witless “comedians” like this as forces to be reckoned with at our own peril
