How was that a revelation?
I love John Stewart. I would love for him to run for president. I feel like he brings the perfect balance of leftwing politics while also being relatable to people who think that they don’t agree with leftist policies. I always imagined that this is because he makes an effort to interact with all sorts of people. After the Breaking Points podcast I’m not sure that’s true.
During the show Sagar mentioned that a lot of the Trump appeal is that he infuriates the libs. Somehow this was breaking news for John.
I happen to have a bunch of Trump supporters in my life. It doesn’t take long to figure out that they are engaging in real life shit posting. Most of the time you can call them out on it and they will give you a wry smile and acknowledge that you are right.
I’m not out here changing hearts and minds. They aren’t going to change. Maybe they would if they were presented with a candidate that offered something truly different than what we have been accustomed to, but being a troll is more worthwhile than supporting a centrist.
