There’s so much information in your “A Closer Look” segments that the general public probably doesn’t see, thank you for this service! Accountability served with humor. It’s a daily endorphin shot that helps combat the anxiety and depression that comes from the fact that so many Americans still worship and adore all things Trump.

Brainwashed is the term. Most Americans are life long party members. They don't care about issues or qualifications. When they vote they just look for the R or the D next to the name. That's why the midterms were so close. Walker could have pulled out his dick and pissed on the crowd, and they still would have voted for him, including the ones he pissed on. Fortunately there were just enough people to vote on reality and not party lines.
It's Walker's own fault for irking the vampire vote with all that "I wanna be a werewolf" talk right before a runoff vote on a cloudy day.

@@miapdx503 I'm talking about Obama. He criticized Bush for being a warmonger, then Obama launched several wars and extensive drone strikes that killed countless innocent civilians. He was quick to bail out his wall street donors but let American homeowners lose their homes without helping. He ran on codifying Roe V Wade but when asked about it after winning said "It's not a priority right now" He caved to Mitch McConnels shennanigans and let him steal the SCOTUS pick. He didn't tell RBG to retire so he could replace her. So now we have a 6-3 majority of right wing theocratic extremists in our supreme court. Thanks Obama. He got a lot of people killed, did a lot of regime changes, worked hard for his wealthy donors but not for us. His only major policy he got passed was the ACA, maintaining the status quo of insurance companies fleecing us. His presidency was a disgrace and a failure. Time to face the facts instead of pivoting to Trump. We know trump is awful. Blue no matter who neoliberals don't know much about Obama.

I have to say, Hershel's concession speech was probably his best political moment. "You can't blame no one. Don't let anyone separate you. Believe in our Constitution. Don't stop believing in America. Always cast your vote", "Trust your elected officials" "Thank God" "This is much bigger than Hershel Walker" "We're all winners". For a malleable-MAGA candidate who was promoted, by and for, the big lie, to concede (low bar, that it is) with a speech about trust in unity, the Constitution and elected officials... I am more hopeful for our democracy, than I was a few weeks ago.
Meyers doing an impression of Samberg doing an impression of Cage - nailed it.
This was one of Seth and his team's best monologues. I laughed out loud a few times.

Republicans would vote for a plank of wood. These hot takes of "how did this happen" are perplexing. None of this is new. Every Republican candidate is a serious threat, no matter how scandalous, obviously corrupt or brain damaged they may be. Vote against them every time, because if you don't the Republicans will put them into office. Trump should have been proof enough of that.

Georgia had to have a runoff because their law is that unless a candidate gets 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff. This happened, as it so often happens in GA, because there was a 3rd party candidate who took just enough votes.
It's still scary that we are continually being saved by a few thousand voters in states like Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Is this sustainable?

While I appreciate the chance to laugh during this bleak time in our history, we can’t just dismiss this all as ridiculous. There are more competent versions of these idiots who have now learned the degree to which demagogy can succeed. By the next election we will have Trump 2.0, an intelligent populist with an entire infrastructure in place to ramp up the fear and bigotry to sweep into office and remain there. Half the nation has already proved they’re willing to trade basic civil liberties for the promise of a return to a mythological “real America. Democrats are pleased they only lost a handful of seats, but considering how so many of those elected won’t publicly admit the facts of the 2020 election, this SHOULD have been a landslide. That it wasn’t is cause for anyone who believes in this country’s founding principles to worry for our future.
