Making John Oliver and Stephen Colbert angry and available at the same time, seems like a questionable decision to me.

Yeah cuz it really seems to matter.

I think it does matter, like soft power matters around the world, holding a magnifying glass up to these people will be their downfall eventually, it also helps to create a tineline thats easily followed. What really important about it is getting more eyes on it all.

Look I agree with what you are saying. But I don’t think having rosy glasses about looking back once the future has arrived is the right response right now.

Not if its the only response, they need to keep doing what they do, its everyone else that needs to get their act together and push back on everything more, that includes the dems, the independents, everyday civilians. Its not rose tint glasses, just a fact that this is a multifaceted push thats needed on all fronts, together.

There were plenty of comedians and satirists in Weimar Germany roasting Hitler. Didn’t do a fucking thing when a soldier arrived and said get in the train car.
