@@PocketMarmo04 Look. I get it. It's upsetting for me too. I remember the anti-trans rhetoric and behaviors in 2016. I had straight up death threats stemming from it. I was also regularly threatened roadside for being a cyclist by necessity. But the reality of the situation is that the American People voted for him. Does it cause me grave concern? Oh, absolutely. But we can't sit here and deny to ourselves what happened. The Democratic Party as a whole failed on messaging. In my state, majority of the ads exclusively targeted women's rights in my area. I saw no ads covering real policy, and my family said they saw ONE, day of election. I, personally, had to look up her policies on her site to know what she stood for. Some people saw her as evasive and in some cases I actually agree. If you don't like the results of the election, then it's time to take a step back and analyze the screw-ups that led to this. We've got a lot of work to do. Part of it is sending a message to the party that we voted for, telling them that tokenism is unacceptable and that instead of pearl-clutching they need to stick to the issues. They work for us. We can MAKE them do better than what they just did. We didn't lose because she's a woman. We didn't lose because of her skin tone. We lost because our representatives failed to be genuine and provide a consistent message beyond comparisons to Trump. Ask almost anybody who swung right last moment and I'll BET you that they'll say that if she had managed to differentiate herself better from Biden's economic policies, that they would've been much more likely to vote for her.
The only thing that will change is we hopefully avoid US boots on the ground in Russia, and an economy that works for workers, not just billionaires and freeloaders.
American morons just handed control over to the worst of the worst, and most of them are too dumb and/or out of touch with reality to realize how bad they are going to regret it. Bye bye Miss 'Murican Pie. RIP

It was up to republicans let go of trump after January 6. We knew economy would be in people’s mind and we could have a normal and decent republican president now. I truly don’t believe most of the people voted for him like him as a human being Sad thing we have to deal with everyone comes with him such as Flyn, Bannon, Miller Why would we have to worry about democracy just because of the inflation 😢
Sad to see John basically admit that the only reason why things are going smoothly is because the side that won is the one that would have been fine with violence or not accepting the results had it lost. Ouch, that is a damning characterization of American democracy. Why wouldn't the next Trump alike play the same playbook? The reality is that it worked and the majority of the electorate is fine with it.
On this election the republican party took extreme measures to make sure every vote is counted for. And he won by the popular vot and in all 7 swing states. The only states kamala won are the ones without ID requirements. Your side is not as good as you think it is.
Last time I checked lefties were the violent side. Just facts. I do not like Trump, but CLEARLY the Kamala supporters were way more violent. I mean, people saying "AWWWW I'm so sad Trump did not get killed" seems very far from being peaceful.
Honestly I don’t think Maga movement will be this strong once trump is gone one way or another in 4 years. It is a cult of personality and there is not another kind of him in Republican Party Let’s not despair and try to survive. Next 4 years will be hard
Unfortunately more than 50% are. Condolences from South Africa. We know the hard truth of dealing with a corrupt Jacob Zuma, as president. Trump and him are virtually identical in personality and criminal standing You could almost say trump is copying zuma. He is still a blight on our nation having started his own party and in 1 election has over 20% of the vote. He is also rapist like trump. He should be in jail.Blows my mind that my fellow people can be so blind or filled with hatred. We as a species have some soul searching to do.

It normally takes less than 10 minutes for my family to vote. Yesterday it took 3.5 hours in our magaland district. They only had one ballot scanner, when there’s typically multiple scanners. The one scanner kept getting jammed. People turned away because they didn’t have 4 hours to do something that normally takes 10 minutes. The train wreck at our local polling station was the most ridiculously stressful and aggravating experience I’ve had since I began voting in 1980. My scanned ballot still doesn’t show “received” OR “counted” when we always get text confirmation of both. Something is not adding up.

We need to start listening to Bernie and the progressives. This weak, pro-corporate neocon centrist nonsense lost. We need to actually help people and educate them on how the Republicans do not care, not spend billions on ads that dont move the needle at all
Exactly. They sold out Bernie in 2016 and have never come back. They had 4 years to keep the swing states blue. Average Americans care about working conditions, jobs and wages. That’s where the Dems should be making it clear they are different from the GOP. And Kamala toed the party line on ISRaEL and Gaza. Not good enough. And how about reigning in the military budget a little?
No it’s the U.S. education system that needs to be reformed as it was working class men without college degrees that overwhelmingly voted for Trump. They believed his BS about the economy and fear mongering about immigrants. The lack of critical thinking on their part was on show for the whole world to see. The definition of the U.S…….dumb, dumber and dumbest!
@MrTomemac Hi I'm not from America I am Australian and followed this presidential election from the beginning, I truly just don't understand how???????? all he did was have hate speeches, no policies no nothing and yet he won, what the hell I just don't get it
Dickerson - you have to face the fact that your network (and others) spent time critiquing Harris for everything from her personality to her .... yeah, you just focused on anything but her platform. And Don? You normalized his hate and abuse. If you get to report on another campaign, I suggest reading the definition of "balanced reporting" again, for meaning this time.
it's not the sign of a healthy democracy. it's literally the process that has always been used. it's the sign of just democracy the smooth way this one went down. but with trump and project 2025 i hope ya'll realize that this democracy is limping on its last leg and it may be entirely gone within the next year or less.

Or, and hear me out, POST THEM IN ORDER! If Kimmel and Meyers can do is, so can you!
As long as Trump acts like a mature adult and doesn't create BLOODY HAVOC???? THEN GREAT. MOVE THE COUNTY FORWARD. BUT IF HE DOESN'T COME THROUGH WITH HIS PROMISES. HIS SUPPORTERS BETTER HOLD HIM 100 PERCENT ACCOUNTABLE.
They have never held him accountable for anything. Trump supporters don't believe he does anything wrong. And if he doesn't go through with his promises, they'll just make excuses or blame the Democrats that something didn't get done. Their morons.
It wasn't bad the first time. The worst stuff that happened to us, was a bunch of masked leftist terrorists rioting, blocking freeways, attacking courthouses and police stations, burning homes and businesses, pulling people from their vehicles, taking over city blocks, commiting mass theft, vandalism, assault, etc. -and then demonizing anyone who rose to oppose them. That "summer of love" was literally a coordinated mass insurrection, but they will never admit it. Instead they exaggerate and obsess over Jan 6th, which is hilarious, because their narratives about it don't make sense based on the court docs, timeline of events, and Nancy Pelosi's on-record statements. Only about 2% of those Jan 6, rioters actually did anything seriously illegal. Meaning, objectively, most should be pardoned and/or sent on their way with small fines. A fair, non-partisan, human being would pardon them. I'm not even conservative; this is all simply the truth.
@@Chris2flyeBiden and Kamala dug us out of the hole Trump put us in after Covid. They fought the hard battles for the economy so that Trump can now leech off their prosperity just like he did post Obama. But I guess reasoning and critical thinking is lacking in American people.

Its okay to take a break. You do not have to fight if you are unable. Please keep peace in your heart and mind. Change is excruciatingly slow but it will come. For ex maybe you've seen in your parents lifetime that women were not able to vote and that change came (very) slowly with time but there was change. So just as that was, with time things can progress forward but first we must take a deep breath and let yourselves have some inner peace and rest our minds for a bit of time. These are the things I keep telling myself to not feel so disheartened myself. Take care🙏🏽
I'm begging you, with mulit part interviews, please please please put something like "(1/4)" in the title so I don't click though every one before finding the beginning.
How do they know "57 % of women voted for Trump and 53% for Harris"?? voting (at least in my area in Texas) is anonymous. They seem to know what percentage of blacks , Hispanic, men, women, etc voted for which candidate
New rules … perhaps it’s time to start playing a bit more like the other side. They are organized, powerful, and on a mission of false ‘patriotism’, shallow economic goals, and an unforgiving ‘god’. Their initiatives will come fast and furious. Pick what you want to focus on (so you don’t get burned out) and be prepared to fight with you time, voice, and wallet. There new world is coming. But the old rules are dead. Best we learn and shift now. Society /media will not go back to a kinder, more respectful time, honest time. That’s over… at least online. We love Stephen for his kindness, empathy, humor, and honesty. We tune in because of his realness in a society of normalized falsehoods and propagated hate.

The last time we had a government for the people was when FDR was president ! And since then the oligarchs have been dismantling everything he did a litte at a time.
ell..actually this was not democracy...democracy is not just about everyone voting it is also the independence of justice, the separation of power, not buying votes or inventing lies and fake news. Democracy is also about education. In ancient Greece where it was born, the people voting where not only the richest but also the most educated and as we rightfully got rid of the first criteria as to who should be granted the right to vote, we overlooked too lightly the later : education! Not like college or school education but democracy, law, election education. Democracy is not voting one day and waiting to see the outcome. It's empowering knowledgeable people in the construction of their country through non corrupt representatives.
You expect me to have faith that Republicans will keep future elections fair? I'll believe it when I see it. And if Republicans do keep elections fair and open, then what use do I have for Democrats? I get everything I need from them now.

We need to start listening to Bernie and the progressives. This weak, pro-corporate neocon centrist nonsense lost. We need to actually help people and educate them on how the Republicans do not care, not spend billions on ads that dont move the needle at all
Why? For 20 years GOP lost the popular vote and still we were stuck with republican leaders.
Democrats have lost faith in elections and voting.
Exactly. They sold out Bernie in 2016 and have never come back. They had 4 years to keep the swing states blue. Average Americans care about working conditions, jobs and wages. That’s where the Dems should be making it clear they are different from the GOP. And Kamala toed the party line on ISRaEL and Gaza. Not good enough. And how about reigning in the military budget a little?
Bernie said you cannot have open borders and free healthcare.
No it’s the U.S. education system that needs to be reformed as it was working class men without college degrees that overwhelmingly voted for Trump. They believed his BS about the economy and fear mongering about immigrants. The lack of critical thinking on their part was on show for the whole world to see.
The definition of the U.S…….dumb, dumber and dumbest!
Thank you john ...🇺🇸👍🌟🌠✨️💞
..And people shake thier heads when they look back at how Germany become Mordor back in 1936!? 🙄
Stupid, you can not compare.
I just don't get it he wasn't that popular and yet he crushed it, doesn't make sense??????????
It’s not so much him. It’s the country you live in. Look at it hard and good.
Technically he had less votes then 2020. But Democrats had like 10million less votes then 2020
He was that popular. He just wasn't in the small, woke left circles.
@MrTomemac Hi I'm not from America I am Australian and followed this presidential election from the beginning, I truly just don't understand how???????? all he did was have hate speeches, no policies no nothing and yet he won, what the hell I just don't get it
What made you think Kamala was popular? She never won a single primary in either election.
I do not understand latina voters nor the women voting for Trump.
If those women were put in a room with Trump alone, he'd try to R them.
Internalized misogyny.
Latinas did vote for Harris in greater numbers than the men.
Especially the Latino voters. He can't stand them and wishes he could deport them all.
Many people are completely disengaged & ill-informed.
Biden should retire right now and Kamala would be the 47th President for the next 2 months
The first female president will be a sore loser that slept her way to the top.
Empowering.
I would love to see her doing absolutely nothing for those 2 months like she has done up until now.
@@evap.5121she has done something, she made the nation worse by covering up for Bidens dementia.
No Biden shouldn’t…He’s been the most productive President since Johnson and that’s a fact Jack ..🇺🇸
@@evap.5121 you kids should really get a grip on what the VP actually does and doesn't do, these comments continue to make you look very dumb.
Ask a Black Woman if she is surprised
He still thinks you have a democracy. Thats sweet. 😢
Trump will bring back democracy. Democracy was lost when democrats started censoring free speech or anything that didn't support their agenda.
GOP has not won the popular vote in over 20 years. People lost faith in the democrats.
Dickerson - you have to face the fact that your network (and others) spent time critiquing Harris for everything from her personality to her .... yeah, you just focused on anything but her platform. And Don? You normalized his hate and abuse. If you get to report on another campaign, I suggest reading the definition of "balanced reporting" again, for meaning this time.
Massive fingers crossed for a dem house - & at least a minute hope for SOME control over the orange madman & his project25 fascists 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
yr lost
America lost 😂@@haremking7256
it's not the sign of a healthy democracy. it's literally the process that has always been used. it's the sign of just democracy the smooth way this one went down.
but with trump and project 2025 i hope ya'll realize that this democracy is limping on its last leg and it may be entirely gone within the next year or less.
With every fibre of my being I do not believe he won the popular vote.
We are now unburdened by what has been

Going by length usually works.
@@NuiYabukoYes, or number of views. First one has the highest.
@@NuiYabukothat's what she said.
I agree! It’s hard to tell on your phone and if you do auto play you may end up with old episode. Just numbers part 1, part 2.
Its called a MANDATE from the American People directly to Trump to do the things he promises to do🔥
As long as Trump acts like a mature adult and doesn't create BLOODY HAVOC???? THEN GREAT. MOVE THE COUNTY FORWARD. BUT IF HE DOESN'T COME THROUGH WITH HIS PROMISES. HIS SUPPORTERS BETTER HOLD HIM 100 PERCENT ACCOUNTABLE.
…YOU KNOW THEY WONT :)
They have never held him accountable for anything. Trump supporters don't believe he does anything wrong. And if he doesn't go through with his promises, they'll just make excuses or blame the Democrats that something didn't get done. Their morons.
@@michaeljamesm Trump is the epitome of a cult leader. He is able to whip his followers into a frenzy and corrupt the weak and feeble minded.
Most of them won't keep him accountable though. They will defend everything he does and justify using logical fallacies 🤷🏻♂️
@shell8118 I know your correct but I was hoping to give the cornball the benefit of the doubt.
Please let that man rest!
2020: Biden got 81 mill
2024: Kamala got only 68 mill so far
where did those 10 odd million votes go?
Biden is a white male...it's sad to say but america wouldn't trust a woman of color .
It doesn't add up.
Kamala is extremely unpopular among registered democrats
Elon musk hanging out with trump a computygeek think about it
people didn't just go out and vote. it's not freakin' rocket science
Guess we didn’t learn how bad it was the first time.
It wasn't bad the first time. The worst stuff that happened to us, was a bunch of masked leftist terrorists rioting, blocking freeways, attacking courthouses and police stations, burning homes and businesses, pulling people from their vehicles, taking over city blocks, commiting mass theft, vandalism, assault, etc.
-and then demonizing anyone who rose to oppose them.
That "summer of love" was literally a coordinated mass insurrection, but they will never admit it. Instead they exaggerate and obsess over Jan 6th, which is hilarious, because their narratives about it don't make sense based on the court docs, timeline of events, and Nancy Pelosi's on-record statements.
Only about 2% of those Jan 6, rioters actually did anything seriously illegal. Meaning, objectively, most should be pardoned and/or sent on their way with small fines. A fair, non-partisan, human being would pardon them.
I'm not even conservative; this is all simply the truth.
Do you think if it had gone opposite, was there going to be chaos?
Imagine thinking that The former president would do shit but he cannot even present himself nice for us folks out here
Dude do u really think Kamala would do anything
@@Chris2flyeBiden and Kamala dug us out of the hole Trump put us in after Covid. They fought the hard battles for the economy so that Trump can now leech off their prosperity just like he did post Obama. But I guess reasoning and critical thinking is lacking in American people. We are too dumb and have collective amnesia about the pandemic. And with Trump getting rid of the department of education well it’s only gonna get worse. Yup we are truly doomed.
@@Chris2flye She already had, dimwit, but hey enjoy the huge price hikes that your guy's tariff 'plan' is going to cause. He lied to you. Have fun with that.

This video 1/3
@ColbertLateShow PLEASE number the videos of a guest.🙏
Trump will not leave power, America 2025 will come into effect, and you will no longer have free elections.
To paraphrase Star Wars: Democracy died to thunderous applause.
lol
You were so terrified of giving him 8 years that you gave him 12.
It doesn't add up.
26 mil votes missing
Compared to the amount of voters that came out for Biden last time?
People either stayed home and didn't vote, or had a protest vote due to disagreements with her policies.
@@503leafyThat still doesn't explain this amount of votes missing. The math isn't adding up. Something is fishy and it doesn't help the case that Elon has been meddling with the US election. I hope the DOJ investigate him because that guy breathes lies.
By conceding, Harris has already done more for America as an ex-candidate than Trump did in four years.
hahhaha, the demonrats have ZERO leverage. They cheated in 2020. The Republicans won the house, senate, popular and electorate. This is a RED country. Get the F out if you don't like it. F your Wokeness!
This is the classic situation of the yapping dog that finally catches the car. Let's see how big and tough this lil dog really is.
Trump promised his zombies American glory and only he will make the "garbage can" that is America great again. Now, he has to deliver.
Me thinks the car wins again.
Yeah, his supporters are all laughing and revelling now but we'll see if that's still the case in a year's time.
Get this man a hot beverage and a blankie!!!
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT MUSK AND VICE PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!
😂
There is nothing to congratulate, this is just sad and pathetic
It was rigged
Too big to rig.
@@gladlawson61 Elections are simply there to release the resentment and anger of the populations. The only people who "won" are the ones behind the curtain.
The irony of the left now saying this is poetic. All the same people telling Kamala “don’t concede” attacked trump for the same reason….. it why the nation rejects the left now
@@martindread6530 And trump is known for cheating, whats your point?
Seriously? Like that is what Trump supporters said 4 years ago! Don't do that, don't fucking do that I don't want Kamala supporters to spout bullshit like this in the fucking fury some of yall are in.
Appreciate You, John.
People didn't vote on the economy. People voted on what they felt the economy to be.
Trump wins because americans are unable to elect a woman .... Quite backward 😂
Trump won because he was the better candidate. Kamala didn't even have Dem primaries. Voting based on gender or color is childish.
Bingo! And from this point on, everything's going to be moving backwards, having four more years of president pumpkin face running the show.
There's always Lewinsky 2028.
She's just as qualified.
@mariokarter13 hmm you haven't listened to the orange monkey. No more elections for you 😂
I will not watch news anymore. I will not watch late night anymore. I am 76 and my husband is 85. We will just try to live in peace for whatever time we have left. I am too sad and too old to fight anymore.
Its okay to take a break. You do not have to fight if you are unable. Please keep peace in your heart and mind. Change is excruciatingly slow but it will come. For ex maybe you've seen in your parents lifetime that women were not able to vote and that change came (very) slowly with time but there was change. So just as that was, with time things can progress forward but first we must take a deep breath and let yourselves have some inner peace and rest our minds for a bit of time. These are the things I keep telling myself to not feel so disheartened myself. Take care🙏🏽
I'm begging you, with mulit part interviews, please please please put something like "(1/4)" in the title so I don't click though every one before finding the beginning.
Thank you
I'm so glad I emigrated!...and I'm never going back.
How do they know "57 % of women voted for Trump and 53% for Harris"?? voting (at least in my area in Texas) is anonymous. They seem to know what percentage of blacks , Hispanic, men, women, etc voted for which candidate
New rules … perhaps it’s time to start playing a bit more like the other side. They are organized, powerful, and on a mission of false ‘patriotism’, shallow economic goals, and an unforgiving ‘god’. Their initiatives will come fast and furious. Pick what you want to focus on (so you don’t get burned out) and be prepared to fight with you time, voice, and wallet. There new world is coming. But the old rules are dead. Best we learn and shift now. Society /media will not go back to a kinder, more respectful time, honest time. That’s over… at least online. We love Stephen for his kindness, empathy, humor, and honesty. We tune in because of his realness in a society of normalized falsehoods and propagated hate.
Waiting for trump impressions
*Women for Kamala!* Welp, turns out there were more men
Stephen Colbert, guess making fun of people didn't work :[
Today democracy won not the elites and Billion money😂
God bless Djt❤
Yes Citizens United won not DJT he is a pawn
Are we sure the process really worked!!! Do old lies ever change!
you live in a bubble
Sounds like an election denier.
Many may have voted for their own deportation.
I love that for them 😊 (I voted Kamala but if they cast their vote for Trump then they get what they get)
So you are saying that illegal immigrants were casting votes?
So citizens now can be deported?
@@aquaticfoxeThat's way Trump won activists like you are brainless...! If you are Latino and vote you are already an American citizen and can't be deported
@@aquaticfoxe You out forward a bad candidate and you lost, get over yourselves.
When the traditionally democrats Arabamericans are voting for trump in huge numbers you guys knew you messed up and should have changed course
Who's the CULT now COlbert..YOU and your 'fans".
One thing that I know about Americans is that they find very persuasive when Europeans tell them how they should vote in their elections.
People just assumed she was going to win and didn’t bother to vote. About 18 million fewer people voted this time. Even trump got fewer votes than he did in 2020.
He didn’t throw the match *yet.*
Misogyny is alive and well. That's why he won
"isn't American democracy something....!"

Idiocracy!
When 100 people having a meltdown
Mullions having a great day ,this is what I'm getting from this comment section
It means he CHEATED
Women: "We are Outraged that Roe v. Wade was overturned! But only 53% outraged. Down 4% from Biden".
Sure. Just don't expect the rest of us to be outraged in that case, and don't complain at the result.
The last time we had a government for the people was when FDR was president !
And since then the oligarchs have been dismantling everything he did a litte at a time.
Will the process work in 4 years?
Welcome back President Trump, its great to see you again 🇺🇲

good. we hate you too.
Then don't move here.
Moving to Canada?
ell..actually this was not democracy...democracy is not just about everyone voting it is also the independence of justice, the separation of power, not buying votes or inventing lies and fake news. Democracy is also about education. In ancient Greece where it was born, the people voting where not only the richest but also the most educated and as we rightfully got rid of the first criteria as to who should be granted the right to vote, we overlooked too lightly the later : education! Not like college or school education but democracy, law, election education. Democracy is not voting one day and waiting to see the outcome. It's empowering knowledgeable people in the construction of their country through non corrupt representatives.
Will Cartoon president come back???? I really miss it
It’s 15 million fewer votes in 2024 than in 2020. People stayed home
Well he'll be out of a job pretty soon...
I sure hope so
No, he will have Trump to make fun of.
He'll be around for a while , unfortunately
You expect me to have faith that Republicans will keep future elections fair? I'll believe it when I see it. And if Republicans do keep elections fair and open, then what use do I have for Democrats? I get everything I need from them now.
