For years, Donald Trump has leaned on all-caps social media posts to grab attention online.
His Truth Social feed often reads like a never-ending shouting match. However, that changed after Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) began mocking the president’s style in dozens of posts interspersed among his regular missives.
This has been going on for the better part of a week, and seems to have gotten to Trump’s ego, as his latest Truth Social posts aren’t in his classic all-caps style.
Mocking Fascists; Making them look foolish and ridiculing them, works. It’s even more effective than just holding their feet to flame like Kamala.
This is probably why Jon Stewart is looking at running. Someone like him or Jordan Klepper is the worst case scenario.
The best strategy the democrats had was calling republicans weird, but then it just got cut off as it was gaining traction.
It’s been telling seeing how quickly many news sources abandoned any semblance of honesty when their owners tightened up on the reins.
In the last two years I completely changed which sources I get news from, now I’m paying for more smaller sources and completely avoiding aggregators like Google or Apple news.
It was too successful, and their oligarch handlers wanted fascism.
Because the Dems obeyed their consultants then, as they have for a couple of decades now, and still are.

Yeah. They shouldn’t worry about that as long as they bring receipts.
Good leadership includes pointing out when those around you are acting like jackasses.
Is he? I thought it was just other people saying he should
He explicitly implied he was considering running on Charlemagne’s show. Wouldn’t mean much for most people but Jon has always aggressively shut down any such suggestion and here he brought it up.

It’s weird that you’re implying you know he’s answered the question weekly(going hard with the hyperbole) but have obviously never seen him give said answer.
link pls maybe timestamp too anybody?

Yes! And a whole movie was made and released based on the idea of someone like him running. Probally largely due to this strong, long present sentiment. It stars Robin Williams.
Yeah I know. I’ve seen dosens of times.
Choose one
Implicitly explied.
No! Schrödinger’s cat for president!
He clearly implied. Leaving no room for confusion or doubt that he implied what he implied.
The implication was explicit. He’s considering running. No one thinks he was implying he would run for a spot on Sesame Street, or as Chief of Staff, or any other position.
You don’t think that works well enough, especially in the context of Jon’s relationship with the subject in the past?
If you must interpret the meaning of his words based on additional context, then he was implying.
If there is no need for interpretation, then he was being explicit.

Whoa, I was just discussing why I would go easy on the poor word choices here. Calm down.
Go watch the clip. In the context of Jon Stewart it’s weird. He hasn’t given the idea serious thought since the rally to restore sanity in ancient times.
Even Jon Stewart cannot defy the rules of logic.
Either he explicitly said “I am running for president” or he implied it by saying something other than “I am running for president.”
“I’m not saying I’m running for president but I’m not not saying that, if you know what I mean”
(haven’t seen the clip, just postulating)
That’s not explicit. At most, it strongly implies he’s running.
Pretty much whenever someone ends a sentence with “if you know what I mean”, they are implying something.
It’s not about him actually running. It’s about him considering. You’re jumping ahead.
He’s never considered it an option before. But now he’s considering it.
It’s not explicitly saying X, it’s explicitly implying X. Really being explicit that they’re implying the thing.

I once heard “There’s a reason neo-nazis idolize the nazi brother from American History X and not the Nazis in Springtime for Hitler.” One takes the neo-nazi ideology seriously and provides counter arguments. The other is making Nazis look lame.

So you’re saying there’s a chance.

Trump has passively destroyed late night TV simply by being the only thing they joke about now. I honestly don’t think writers even remember what they did before Trump.
I’d rather Stewart continue with his activism. Colbert on the other hand…
Isn’t he Canadian?
Look I can see that comment being made in person, but this is a pretty easily researched question being posed asynchronously.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert
He was born in Washington, D.C.
I really had it in my head that he was Canadian, so didn’t think I needed to. Thanks for the correction.
Not sure who I’m confusing him with.
Please God bring back Sam Kinison
What a perfect anti-Trump candidate
IDK I feel like he’d just get into a screaming match with Alex Jones. Honestly that’d be fun to watch.
