I know electoralism is tired, anyhow I'd like to hear your opinion on this guy. Is he sincere?
He's sincere. A lot of people my age have fond memories of the Daily Show during some really dark times during the Bush Administration. But at the end of the day, he's a left liberal and really doesn't pretend to be anything else. I don't really think there's much of a market for liberal snark and civility of that sort as material conditions continue to deteriorate.
The problem with Jon Stewart is he's controlled opposition and he's never gonna tell you to burn down the system that his brother, former COO of one of the NYSE branches, has played such a big part in.
He's a living relic of the Bush Administration and the cultural atmosphere at the time. He kind of burned out during the Obama administration and had brief nostalgic surge in popularity during the Trump years from people who wanted yet another liberal voice ripping into Trump.
I'll admit that I didn't think much of him during the Bush years but appreciated how he at least pushed back on Obama on some issues during his presidency. Every other liberal pundit just wouldn't do that and instead praised him for things Bush had been doing.
Nowadays he's kind of worn out his welcome and is only really beloved by Millennials that grew up with him during the 2000's. I don't think GenZ is as enamored with him but I could by wrong.
Remember the "Rally to Restore Sanity" and how they built up way too much support and momentum with it and had to tone it down and let it fizzle out? At least that's how I remember it. Stewart was is a very weird mood that day like he was totally over the whole thing.
he was ok when he was criticizing Bush but you should grow up and move on from him.
I got off the bandwagon when they did that "Rally to Restore Sanity", because even my liberal ass thought it was fucking stupid
i went with my family lol. it was a lot of redditors.
lol, he has certainly built a brand, he should do a throwback era where he does the leather jacket dennis leary wannabe like in the 90s
I am glad we largely moved on from the "dude in leather jacket does stand-up" era.
