Agreed. The U.S. CITIZENS need to demand improvements to education instead of adopting the "vote and complain" method of participation. Millions of people refusing to email a representative or attend a county meeting, petition, organize, and communicate is NOT participation. We've neglected this DUTY as citizens and we now are facing the consequences. Too many people blaming everyone but ourselves when this entire situation is our fault.
I was in a McDonald’s on election night 2016. It slowly creeped up into my heart that he was winning and I was in denial that this was gonna happen. Like, someone is gonna stop this. This is really bad. My stomach was on the floor.
I was at Costco. Waiting and waiting for the numbers to flip around. I hit refresh so much my phone battery finally died in the cracker aisle. No other Costco trip has ever been so memorable.
I was in a bar two blocks from Times Square because I thought just like when I was there for when Obama won it was going to be a celebration. People were on top of the poles and cheering and spraying champagne. I thought we were going to see the same thing with Hilary and I instead took a Uber back to Jersey city crying the entire way. The Uber driver who was Muslim said to me “it will be okay he won’t be that bad.” He added that “if anyone should be scared it should be me and we live in NY it will be okay.” I think about that cab driver often.
It feels so perverse watching these trumpers. I’m equal parts sad + entertained + horrified. I accidentally encountered an Alex Jones ‘rally’ in 2020 when I was dropping off my ballot at the main drop box in phoenix. He was screaming to this small crowd all dressed in military ish clothes with giant Trump flags waving and assault rifles around their chests, just right across the street. Only one block away from downtown Phoenix where everything was normal. It was surreal and terrifying.
This was actually incredibly insightful. I got more from this interview than listening fascism scholars interviewed by Maddow or Hayes. I guess, not surprisingly, if you hang out with Trump people you really do understand them. My three biggest "ah ha" moments: 1) They just like him. They just like the way he can say whatever he wants and not give a f*ck. He's doing it for them. Because they'd have to pay the consequences, and he doesn't. 2) The "truth" behind conspiracy theories for them -- in fact, many of them (and us!) are victim to power moves behind a closed door that we have no access to. 3) The closeness of the dangerous and the ridiculous. It's not one or the other; they actually go together, maybe to make the pill of the dangerous go down more easily.
As much as I love watching these guys and do regularly, it breaks my heart too. A literal army of painfully ignorant people who can be persuaded by an obvious con man….💔😳😗😞
I love watching them putting maga voters on the spot, it is also informative for our side to see the people who might put trump back in office, to see their mindset.
Reminder: Extremist movements only become more extreme, not less. If you think Trump or Vance is benign, they will need to feed the movement or they will turn on them too. They did it to the GOP and here we are.

Most don’t understand the political ideology of fascism; they believe they live under it now and that Trump will rescue them from it. As Trump has told us, he loves the uneducated. Easy to see why.
I mean, they're doing the same that the Daily Show correspondents have been doing for years...like Jordan Klepper. It's sad that some of the people can vote, but then again he did say that he loves the uneducated🤷🏻♀️
"all of us were kind of playing a character...." - i think their lived experiences have made them internalize that this is what you're supposed to do, and that those characters are real people. Real people aren't anything until they become this character. So it's kind of a fulfillment arc to be able to have a conversation putting on the full armor of that character. Idk, i think it's self-actualization for a specific kind of person.
I can’t laugh at it any more. The ignorance of MAGA rally goers isn’t funny it’s terrifying and sickening when you see what it has led to and what it will in all likelihood lead to.
Love these guys! And No one Trumps like Trump so True.. almost every R Candidate who tries to imitate or emulate him ends up losing their election..(unless of course they're in the Heart of Trump Country like Alabama or Idaho etc)
I just don't understand who started this reaction that using the military against Americans would be a fundamentally new thing. Did everybody really forget already???
Man, we really are living in Idiocracy. 8:26 - "We'll go to these Trump rallies and someone will be like, 'Oh, I love you guys.' We used to think 'This is great! Maybe they have a sense of humor about what we're doing and that there's more common ground.' But then we realized they're just happy to see someone in person that they've seen on their phones... like Donald Trump."
How to heckle donald? Remind him he was not the first choice for the Apprentice. Just found that out because of John D Miller’s interview, an exec marketing guy for the apprentice. I howled…sooo funny! He was NOT number 1, he wasn’t even on the roster at first but rather he was third or fourth choice.
This level of stupidity is not so much funny as it is scary. I used to think that this was a tiny minority of people but I'm finding more and more that actually believe such nonsense. If the United States has so many morons that actually vote, how much longer can we last?
Eh just have intelligent women debate him. in fact just call Annika Sörenstam and have her beat him at a round of golf and the election wont be a problem anymore.
So look, Donald Trump is a clown. And how many horror movies have clowns as the villain? He's a clown and a demagogue, and both can be deadly dangerous.
Flat Earth is the “final” conspiracy theory. Each conspiracy you believe makes it easier accept the next theory. With each accepted conspiracy theory you need to discover more and more from objective reality.
An ignorant society is what allows scammers, media, and politicians to thrive. The refusal to ask "are we outnumbered by a bunch of idiots?" is pretty annoying. You can have hundreds of channels and interviews pointing out a rational perspective and it has no effect. This is entertainment. Nothing more.
As a Canadian watching this form the outside I am both impressed and bemoan what these two do... yes, it is funny and poignant to literally just ask Trump supporters questions but by pointing out their ignorance or willingness to just believe whatever for whatever reason, it doesn't really add much to the conversation? If people are not going to vote Kamala because of X reason, showing how absolutely devoid Trump voters are won't change much?
Do you guys ever check out new progressive talent? I just interviewed a young guy called Keegan Tatum for my "The Semple Truth" podcast, and it was fascinating. I highly recommend you check him out :)
Ill be honest, from a political perspective, I don't really know if their type of humor is productive. If we just want to make fun / caricature the people on 'the other side', then sure, I guess? However I'm not sure if this is anything other than damaging towards the overall cause. I would argue that seeing 'the other side' as people who have been targeted/misguided by the most predatory sides of social media / fox news, is perhaps a healthier way to see it... especially if we want to have a chance at reaching out, persuading, bringing people to our side. IDK if "They're so stupid haha" is doing anything other than othering, and alienating each other further and further.
The US really needs to improve its education & regenerate basic cultural foundations like honesty, decency, care for others.

I'd rather be on the team that can control the weather, if it was possible
If we could control the weather they would never have a chance of winning any election ever!
Shhh!
The other team keeps telling me they have God on speed dial… maybe He outsourced weather to Dems?

We need about 2 million more of these guys.

I love these guys!!! Was just binging their content on twitter the other day. Love that you’re having em on the show
“We are amusing ourselves to death” gave the shivers. 🥶
The thing that gets me about Jan. 6th is IF he won in 2020 AND 2016 how is he eligible to run again? Trump fans? Crickets...
I love The Good Liars! Great show Jon! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Denialism and the belief in nonsense are features of bigotry, not bugs.
@hvymettle Astute observation.
VOTE!
Yes! And take some people with you! GOTV 💙
The National Guard is in fact the military and BLM were in fact American citizens. Take him at his word FFS

Oh the good old days when it was just Nixon coming but the guardrails were still fairly solid.

And they ignore the horror of being under fascism.

In the uk there is a troll group called led by donkeys, some useful ideas to use for trolling maga.

Thank you! Valuable information that helps explain the T voter. They scare me but best we know 💙
I love those Good Liars
They tell the truth
That's unequivocally correct, Donald Trump literally is a wrestling heel... He's out here working everybody into a shoot
I watch everything they do. Amused and horrified at the stupidity.
Criminal lunacy. Keep up the great work 😊

Agree. I'm from Idaho and believe it's the northernmost southern state in the nation. My vote doesn't count.
I still vote, but it doesn't count.
Trollers need to insist the person tell them proof of something good Trump did. Then debunk when it was a different admin or office.
Trump is Bart Simpson. I'm waiting for everyone to get sick of Trump like Bart's 'I didn't do it' episode.
He’ll just go “woozle wuzzle” then sway for 40 minutes
I've never seen a face more Handsome Jack than this one. What the hell.
I just don't understand who started this reaction that using the military against Americans would be a fundamentally new thing. Did everybody really forget already???
Trump is giving the finger to the people, too, but they don't get it. Yes, daddy, slap me more.
Trump is not capable of answering any questions let alone tough ones and you want average trump's cult member to answer them. That's funny.
This is so scary and real
Man, we really are living in Idiocracy.

Why is asking tough questions so offensive to the "free speech" crowd?

Why don’t’t any of you ask these people if they enjoyed watching The Apprentice TV show. It was a 14 year campaign commercial.

This video/show isn’t about DJT or his many failures. It’s about the Good Liars comedians. Keep up, cultist.
Ill be honest, from a political perspective, I don't really know if their type of humor is productive. If we just want to make fun / caricature the people on 'the other side', then sure, I guess?
However I'm not sure if this is anything other than damaging towards the overall cause.
I would argue that seeing 'the other side' as people who have been targeted/misguided by the most predatory sides of social media / fox news, is perhaps a healthier way to see it... especially if we want to have a chance at reaching out, persuading, bringing people to our side.
IDK if "They're so stupid haha" is doing anything other than othering, and alienating each other further and further.
It’s not making fun or caricature to simply let the MAGA cultists speak for themselves.
