Back when he used to be the host, libs would hold this sort of humor up as a sign that he was being fair and equal with all politicians. Sign of how deep the Blue MAGA have gotten.
Even as recently as like 2015, he was critical of Obama from time to time and they didn’t ream him out for it
Alastair Campbell: Has Barack Obama been a good president?
Jon Stewart: That is too broad a question to answer. The difficulty has been the difference between rhetoric and reality. When you run on hope and change - “Yes we can”, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” - that is a message of true reform. And then you govern from the perspective of “I will put a new coat of paint on this termite-infested place”… When he was running for re-election, I said, “You ran from a place of Roosevelt-style ‘We must up-end the institutions, for they are failing’ and governed from a place of pragmatism: ‘We had the financial crisis, we must work within the system.’ So do you still believe ‘Yes we can’?” “Yes,” he said, “absolutely.” Then there was a pause and he said, “But…” And the audience exploded.
Campbell: The “but” was the rhetoric being caught by reality.
Stewart: Exactly. If you are going to have the audacity of rhetoric you have to have audacity of effort. If there is disappointment in Obama it is that he didn’t go down swinging.
Stewart: People would like to have seen more noble failure.

Is a real eye opener when you realize libs are LITERALLY Blue MAGA to Red MAGA.

Trump really did break these people
Yup as much as liberals claim to hate Trump they’re also feverishly copying his play book.
No criticism can be tolerated, dems are the best at everything ever, anybody who disagrees its just because they’re a very nasty person (not good).
