Comment on Jon Stewart: Trump Is The Opposite of Who His Supporters Claim He Is | The Daily Show
aesthelete@lemmy.world 4 days agoYou might feel like it’s “everyone”, because you never hear anything the other side has to say.
Au contraire mon frere. I would posit that nobody that gives even a single iota of a shit about politics in this country hasn’t been exposed to what “the other side has to say”. I’d also venture to guess that the number of people who don’t give a single iota of shit about politics in this country have also heard what “the other side has to say” is very distant on the number line from zero. There have even been studies (since you occasionally pretend to give a fuck about objectivity) confirming that Republicans who watch Fox News know less about Democrats than Democrats know about Republicans.
It’s kind of difficult to not “hear what the other side has to say” when half of your news media spends its time interviewing people on both sides of divisive issues such as “the vaccine question” or “is the earth round”, and the other half of your news media openly roots for Republican candidates.

Dunno, gimme a name of your reputable news sources. I’ma take a look.
Cuz the video in question is as biased as fox news. Just into the opposite direction.
It’s hard for me, personally, to watch it, even though I do believe it’s insane to vote for Trump. And yet the video is just repeatable cringe. It ads nothing to the political debate, and given that this particular show does pretty much the same material every week I’m not sure how isn’t everyone yet bored of watching it?

The video in this post is from a comedy show on comedy network.
As you continually do here with your “this adds nothing” and “this wastes electricity” posts.
If you don’t like the video or the show, here’s an idea: don’t fucking watch it. You don’t live here so it isn’t even for you, and you don’t seem to enjoy it much from your pissy moany comments.
Some of us have to live in this country where people make the absurd arguments refuted in the video about Trump, and some of us like to kick back with our feet up and blow off steam with a little mild humor about the absurdity of the political situation in this country.

You do nothing else but kick back and watch some political comedy. And it doesn’t look like fun anymore. At this point lemmy is an emotional support club.
Other than that, I feel you. After I’ve learned that trump got 48% or so of the popular vote (which also somehow won him the election), I’ve forever dropped my plans to move to your beautiful country. Even if career-wise it’s a no-brainer. Tbh, even 40% of the popular vote to that political figure would’ve been too much for my liking.

It hasn’t really been fun to live in this country in nearly a decade, and that’s me speaking as someone sitting on the top of the privilege pile.
The country is basically 6 corporations dressed in a trench coat.
