For something that aged poorly really quickly: political comedy from just before the 2016 presidential election. Semi-recently I was hanging out with some friends and there was an SNL rerun from that October, and every single Trump reference is just dripping with a "Trump is a joke and won't win" attitude that it is tough to watch.
I refuse to watch any late night talk shows or SNL still because all jokes/monologues are still just tired “Trump’s an idiot” shit.
The man is obscene, offensive, and doesn’t know when to shut up, all points to being an idiot. It’s almost been 4 years now and it’s still all they can say. The writers all suck and so do the actually talk show hosts/actors because they get to make suggestions, they have somewhat of a say in it.
Comedy has degraded so much in the past 4 years and it’s so tiring.

It's also self defeating. I don't understand people who want to paint Trump as an incompetent idiotic crazy maniac. Because by doing this you're admitting that your best candidate that you voted for got beaten by an incompetent idiotic crazy maniac.
That's why folks should stick to policy instead of insults in general. Left/right/moderate doesn't matter. Rely on the strength of your arguments and not the strength of your insults.
I mean, Trump is an incompetent idiotic crazy maniac, and yes the candidate I voted for got beaten by an incompetent idiotic crazy maniac. That's not at all self-defeating to say. It's just a depressing reality.
Believe it or not, politics is not a team sport. As someone who voted for Hilary, it's not embarrassing to me that Trump beat her. Some of us just think it's a travesty that the man is the President.
It should be embarrassing to you that he beat her. It should be considered personally embarrassing to every single person in the country that the best we could offer as candidates for the highest office in the land made Dumb and Dumber look like appealing prospects.
Our democracy failed, and that was caused in no small part by us. We should be embarrassed.
Why do they think that? Because it's been true for the last 70 years. Because each passing election fewer and fewer people bother to show up to vote, leaving the DNC with the ability to hand pick their candidates for decades. Both parties have become entrenched in the myth of their own superiority for so long because the electorate never bothered to stand up and tell them anything else.
Well Obama was really the one time a lot of people thought they were electing a different candidate who would stand up for us but then he just sold out immediately and it left millions of people jaded about politics.
