The audience Trevor Noah cultivated is pissed Jon Stewart didn't suck off Biden

massive tax cuts to the rich, kids in cages, shit health care
think about which administration do you want running the country

good god the self-own. like at least list a thing that the biden admin reversed after taking office jesus christ

We're all just wondering who put up the cages in the first place.
- Lmao that Obama emoji is so good
- Trump began militarizing the border with Operation Gatekeeper in 1994.
They mandated that the government not be able to call them 'aliens' anymore, they're 'migrants' (migrants that we demonize while raising the ICE budget and detain them indefinitely in camps)
Biden pardoned a bunch of people convicted of marijuana possession (after they had been released to just 'clean their records', and they had to do the paperwork; also didn't apply to 'migrants')
He...uhh...'reportedly' thinks Israel killing innocent Palestinians is wrong?
- Didn't that "pardon" release literally 0 people from prison?

Ok let's apply that to Biden's administration.

It acted like COVID magically went away or became the flu, ended COVID relief programs, fought rail unions tooth and nail on a new contract that included improved safety regulations all while the blatant disregard for rail safety was on full display, stood by as the Supreme Court struck down Roe v Wade and made decisions that greatly affected the right of POC and the LGBTQA community, whole heartedly feed an entire country (Ukraine) to the meat grinder to weaken Russia unsuccessfully, and is currently covering Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestenians by regurgitating Israeli propaganda and providing military and material support.

Wow I really want these people to stick around

This should be all of our response to any comment such as this going forward. Make them squirm.

Brave comrades in the posting trenches
Who are they? I'm out of the loop. Was thinking of voting for RFK JR just to be annoying but this might be better
- I voted for orb mom in the (Dem) primary.

Do you did Trump did anything during his presidency?

Most literate liberal

Well... Did you?
- I went far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.
- Where did you did you back to?
- I did do did!

- Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Obama
To be a bit more seriously, I'm not from the US but I'd be very careful. The MAGA movement might very well start rounding up trans people and whoever else they don't like. Something like a "Kristallnacht". They absolutely could turn the US into a fascist dictatorship. I hate the neoliberals too but from a tactical viewpoint you really should vote for Biden.
- I’m not voting for a genocide enabler
- The democrats will not meaningfully oppose that happening.
- The US is currently a fascist dictatorship. Both parties in the US function as a single unit uniparty. Don't forget they repealed abortion rights under a democrat. The US legislator (Congress) is corrupted and captured and their supreme court is not different from Iran with religious fundamentalists that have lifetime appointments with power to review any case law. It literally doesn't matter. The Kristallnacht is coming and no voting will stop it, just like voting never stopped the German Nazi's. Is idea here to just have the Democrats win every election forever?
- If only more people had voted for Hindenburg, he would have won the election and Hitler would have never come to power.
- Hi
  Several US states basically have trans laws that amount to rounding up trans people already, these laws passing within the last year or two
  Who's the current sitting president again? What party does he represent?
- What make you think that the party who is already rounding up ethnic minorities in camps as we speak would do anything against the Republicans rounding up LGBTQ+ peoples in camps?
- I am in the US and this is how can show you, the Republicans will make things worse as fast as they can while they are in power, while the dems will slow down to a much slower pace, but will do nothing to make anything better, they also will not stop anything bad from happening, they just will not activly do anything evil or terrible. A trans friend of mine put it this way, the Dems get you to vote for them by putting a gun to your head and saying they are your only choice.
  It gets worse once you find out that the Dems are some of the biggest donners to the far right congresional canidates, because they think they are easier to beat.
  At the end of the day the only REAL difference between the 2 is rhetoric, and maybe 2 years max, and I think I am being genorous by saying that we can get 2 years more out of the dems. Both votes will lead to the same facist hell hole, its just what can of paint I want, and how I want it to happen
- as a trans person please don't use my identity as a shield to justify people voting for a genocide. thanks
- Hey, we can apply longtermism too (and it won't even be that long, maybe a few decades) and say "That's unfortunately pretty likely no matter the timeline or specifically who gets elected when." Maybe if it happens in 2025-6 instead of 2045-6 there'll be less people around to genocide, and we might get a resolution to it quicker.
  The US is certain to become a blatantly authoritarian state down the road, it is completely unsustainable and dependent on militarily destroying other places to launder money to its ruling class, then extracting surplus value from those places in the aftermath. It's currently a heavily obfuscated fascist state, at least to most observers just struggling to get by under its propaganda and the arcane systems it and its collaborators have created.
- VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO
  LMao

Corrupt politicians are ordered by their major bribers who is in the ADMINISTRATION.

Citigroup chose Obama’s 2008 cabinet, WikiLeaks document reveals

Trump was also told by his major bribers who to hire. For instance Renaissance Technologies who paid Trump $16 million, and John Bolton $3 million.

They also paid Hillary $16 million and remember that whole Pied Piper thingy with the cordinating with the media and the DNC propping Trump up making him "viable"

Let that sink in.

- Mine too! I was living in section 8 apartments and had my power cut off a couple times during that debacle. Grand memories.
tbf most liberals are cool with Citigroup picking their politicians and policies
Also, when Dick Cheney was tapped to be Bush Jr's VP, he left Haliburton where he was the CEO and got a $33M severance package. The Bush admin went on to give Haliburton a bunch of no-bid govt contracts which they were investigated for.
Let that sink in.
fuck you elon for making me hear you say this

Oh is THAT the lines libs are going to use? That actually you aren't voting for president, you're voting for the president's cabinet? That's a ridiculous line to take but okay. I guess they haven't tried that one yet so let's see how it goes for them. Badly I would presume

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.
If Trump gets elected it will be your fault! Thanks asshole!
- I wish the left had even a fraction of the power libs think we do
- "You did this" but the 4 pictures are all Jon Stewart
They do have a point though about the administration being a big part of an election. But sadly for this person (and the other folks that will use this line of thought), I think that a very large amount of people that are anti-Biden are not fans of his team either. So they are just furthering the arguments of even the anti-Biden Dems that are becoming more and more embarrassed of the party they have blindly supported for so long. Which does open some gaps for leftists to maybe at least flip to Green votes for President, or at least start following the lead of protest movements like the pro-Palestine/ceasefire ones.
But we have seen how much rot the "blue no matter who" crowd has just ignored for my entire life from late 80's to now. The masses have been taught to be loud but not know how to do anything. Being fair Republicans aren't much better but have learned how to scare their established leaders here and there.

I fucking hate the turn of phrase "let that sink in"

- Well, hello there sexy curves
- lewd, be careful posting this type of thing while mods are awake
- Skibidi sink with Musk head and neuralink implants.
- Is that why musk took one into Twitter?
These trite phrases used all the time in news and comments sections are going to kill my soul eventually
- this, so much this
  you win the internet today, good sir
- Tell me without telling me Civics class Any trump nickname AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Permit thine washbasin entrance.

Trevor noah was so fucking unfunny, dear God how did he manage to become host is beyond me

A few years ago a lib coworker showed me a clip on YouTube.
Every "joke" felt like it was written by a committee of libs, trying to make the most inoffensive material possible while pandering to DNC libs.
- I still remember how he interviewed
  right after
  was killed and didn't ask her any hard questions about her family's relationship with him and
- Because it was written by a committee. You really think a guy who spent all his life in South Africa understands the ins and outs of US politics and culture? He's just there to deliver the jokes and collect a paycheck.
He just fundamentally did not understand American politics and the culture/society around it, which meant all his jokes fell flat. There may be many similarities between South Africa and the United States, but there are also many key differences. That kind of thing is important to understand when your entire job revolves around making jokes about American society and politics, and he just did not get it.
- Is he funny when talking about South Africa or does he just suck ass generally

What's up with liberals knee jerk urge to avoid absorbing contradictory/ conflicting information? Instead of taking the second to see why people are saying xyz (in this case,Biden is old, genocide is bad, demand better from politicians) they double down on being proudly ignorant. They're so eager to be exploited

Throwback to this lib leaning into it re: Gaza
Truths are complicated and challenging. We don't have to take sides or teams; although I know it's difficult given then times we live in, where we feel the pressure to take sides given how fast we are bombarded with information. Join me and others in the effort to be comfortable with cognitive dissonance, and remember that regardless of any political leaning or nationality, we are all connected by our common humanity. Let's not antagonize eachother. Good luck in your search for answers.
- We don't have to take sides or teams
  imagine seeing what's going on in Gaza and being able to say this. they must be totally empty inside
It seems more recent, at least to me
In years past, they were fine with criticizing their leadership, they even kind of enjoyed it; doing so helped make them look more 'educated' and 'impartial' than their conservative counterparts. Something changed with Trump, 'vote blue no matter who' really got taken to heart, and now making even the most milquetoast criticism is seen as an indictment on you and an indicator that you are stupid or a Russian asset or a conservative
What's up with liberals knee jerk urge to avoid absorbing contradictory/ conflicting information?
liberals tend to view politics through the lens of personal morality. you're a good person if you support democrats. the inverse of that is if the democrat in office is bad, they view that as their own personal failing for "picking wrong" so it causes cognitive dissonance that causes them to keep doubling down.

Jon's take assumes that this decision comes down to two men

I thought they were about to tell people to vote third party and wondered why this was in the dunk tank

American electoralism has come down to this. Each state has an independent election to elect formal electors, each of which casts a vote for president, a man who will be controlled and held up as a figure head by his own administration, and our chances at democratic influence lie in somehow signaling through 3 layers of indirection to influence the decisions of the unelected administration officials. Right.

denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance

Trevor Noah cultivated an audience? I assumed everyone stopped watching The Daily Show long ago.

Plenty of people watched Trevor uncritically support lib shit, it's exactly what they needed when Biden was opposing the Drumpf
- Well yeah but ratings pretty much slid the entire time he was in the Daily Show chair.

America, you are not picking a president but an ADMINISTRATION..."

me checking the names of the Trump appointees that are still in place after Biden took office almost four years ago

God it would be so fucking funny if Stewart became one of the people to blame for a Trump W

People did blame it on him for retiring last time around IIRC.
- In their defense that rally to restore sanity shit was pretty much the high water mark for libs preferring to be smug to winning electoral power.
  But I'd be willing to bet that's not the argument they're making.

Tired of people trying to shame me into voting for their flavor of fascism over the other guys. I'm closer to having an adventure rather than voting for Biden or Trump.

Seriously, it's so futile at this point
I no longer believe in the ballot box, only the

Stewart and Nate Silver have both been very effective at selling the lib "strategy" to the masses for awhile. Stewart obviously had a bigger impact but Silver was pretty important for convincing the more online to vote for liberals and they've turned on both of them this week lmao

The liberals are absolutely in shambles right now, these are some foundational people for the appeal of the ideology they're denouncing. All for fucking Biden lmfao. This is crazy, and it's going to get even weirder

Looks like they need a new center right pro israel media darling to come out of the ashes

[Trump's] administration did help pass massive tax cuts to the rich, put children in cages, try to gut healthcare.

Pretty sure Biden's did these things as well.

Yes but once biden got elected they went back to brunch

Gonna be Dennis leary for s minute but holy fuck politcal discourse has gotten absolutely pathetic from the dems. Just cringing and gutless in all regards and the only time they show any fire is when they act like a shushing librarian to anyone who has any vocal opposition to this shameful submission.

angry cigarette smoking intensifies
- That is a thing I do IRL.

What is the issue exactly? That he mistook Mexico for Egypt?
Yes he’s old, we all know that.

Reddit: they're trying their best.

Also these dipshits love fact checking but miss that he didn't confuse countries exactly, he confused world leaders. One of whom has been in office since he was VP.
Oh and love them dismissing racism offhandedly
- It's easy to mistake, they both have the yellow desert filter.
- "Yesterday? What the fuck is that?" ~Reddit.com
- His brain's obviously pretty mushy so it's concerning nonetheless, but I'd be more concerned if Biden were confusing Mexico and Egypt versus what actually happened.

Biden's admin also put kids in "administrative detention boxes" and did nothing to curb the tax cuts or collapse of healthcare.

I don't think their ideas are very different at all

probably but it's still hilarious Stewart mildly criticized Biden and they're ready to completely disregard him now
- Wasn't talking about Steward and the libs, but replying to the last line in the screenshot about how "the Dems and Reps have widely different ideas about what the country should be"

"Do you did Trump did"

They have such a way with words.

There are too many people on that sub who are waaaay too old to be watching The Daily Show in 2024. If they're making excuses about Obama's supermajority, they are ancient. Literal baby brains.

is this a pro jon stewart post on my chapo trap house reddit?

It’s a dunk tank post making fun of blue MAGA being so brainbroken about Trump they forgot how much they love Stewart’s hokey “we’re better than this” centrist schlock
- on my chapo trap house reddit?
Eh, Jon's a good lib compared to the lot of them. A few months in the gulag and reeducation will make a fine comrade out of him.

Different thread but lmao

I'll never not hate the parasitic sounding word "consuming".
"Consuming media" is the shittiest phrase invented in the past couple years, aside from "my friend Joe"

I guess Trump's awful personality and personal incompetence don't matter then?

No? They don't? His incompetence is actually a positive
