Typical Trump Supporters

I'm wondering if any anti-Trump people thought that was the slightest bit funny. I may be biased, but I didn't actually find any humor in it. The Daily Show used to be a comedy show, right?

What a fantastic coincidence! The interviewees apparently are all ISF members!

Its not easy to be funny when referring to the train wreck that America will be if Trump gets in.

This is serious.

Well, then, I've gotta wonder why the Daily Show had that segment. I certainly had my issues with Jon Stewart's bias and his sense of fairness, but at least he never made me question whether his show was a comedy. Watching an interviewer prompt gullible Trump supporters to repeat age-old conspiracy theories that everybody's heard a thousand times before is not my idea of a laugh riot.
 
Jimmy Kimmel Live! went up to Trump supporters on the street and said, "As you know, Donald Trump released his taxes today. What do you think of..." and then made up ridiculous deductions and exemptions. Can skip to the 40 second mark.

So I've heard that Donald Trump donated $40000 to the Jared Fogel defense from. People are saying it happened.

I did like the genius who thought that breast pumps were for making breasts bugger

Why is that? Those are many of the same people who express themselves in polls. Are you going to ignore the polls because people who you would prefer weren't on your side support your candidate and their right to be ignorant and gullible.

These are the people filling his arenas, high-fiving each other when someone shouts "Trump the Bitch" or "Lock Her Up", to repeat the less bigoted shout outs he gets.

This is the GOP base. Those of you willing to accept them and their votes to achieve your own haughty agendas need to own them. They're yours.

The Daily Show has been an actual source for news, more pertinent than much of the news we get on "serious" news shows, for quite sometime. It's sad that you don't see the humor. Stupid is funny.

it's not funny, it's incredibly scary.
Just like the Kimmel video about the taxes.

People make up so much **** to save their belief in Trump.

Wow, you're doing some serious projecting. There are millions of stupid/irrational/ignorant/gullible people supporting Hillary too. I couldn't care less if someone like you wants to use selection bias and availability bias to convince yourself that there are more of such people on your enemy's side than your side. It would be easy to do something similarly mocking, yet unfunny, by interviewing Democrats at a Hillary rally. My only question was "why do it unless it is actually funny?" That wasn't funny. I've seen episodes of "Ask a bunch of people off-the-wall questions and edit the footage down to the craziest and funniest answers" many times, and there's usually at least a giggle or a smile in there somewhere. Even when the target was people I have sympathy for. From the perspective of comedy, I thought that bit was embarrassingly bad. Now, I do worry sometimes that I let political biases intrude into my aesthetic judgments, which is why I asked what other people thought. I gather now that most people agree with me, however. Which raises another question. To wit, if a comedy show intentionally airs a bit that is objectively humorless, is it really trying to be a comedy show anymore? Has the Daily Show just become an incompetent comedy show, or is it really just an opinion show now?

The Democratic base is equally ignorant, emotional, and illogical. Actually, I suspect it's worse, on average. Interestingly, I've met people like those The Daily Show mocked in the interview sketch and I've found that once you get past the initial bluster (or perhaps trolling), they can be thoughtful and introspective, and they actually can come up with good reasons for their political positions. I've found that this is less the case with Democrats. Now, it could easily be due to the circles I travel in, which have a high density of Democrats. Being among like-minded people tends to dull the brain and allow one to shut out and dismiss alternative points of view. The Republicans around me don't have that luxury. If I went to Texas, the situation might be reversed.

Ok, does that mean you thought it was funny? Seriously?

Meh, not scary. The footage is edited down to the craziest answers, and often the subjects realize it's for a comedy show and play along with it. You should search for outtakes or unedited video from previous Daily Show interviews on YouTube. It's really all incredibly artificial and manipulated. It's practically fiction.

The people interviewed seem to have been the early crowd at a Trump event? Can't say, but they appeared to be in front of an arena or theater of some sort.

Have you seen the crap they sell? You get a choice of Trump That Bitch, Hillary Sucks But Not Like Monica, the Confederate flag with "Trump 2016" on it, Donald Trump - Finally Someone With Balls..... etc...

They may have been interviewing vendors, for all we know. Of course they picked the dimmest bulbs, but I believe they're not that hard to find. The far-crazy wing is out there. America's Sheriff yesterday debated like an ISF regular.... that we should take care to note that Donald didn't actually say that the birth certificate was legitimate or that he really believes he's qualified to be president, just that "Obama was born in the USA".

Of course they picked the most egregious. John Watters does the same thing for his O'Reilly segment, just picking on liberals and Hillary supporters.

Funny? Well, in an OMG Should This Person Be Allowed Near Sharp Objects sort of way, yeah.

This fine, upstanding Trump supporter just resigned from her campaign chair.

Wonder why?

:rolleyes:

I wish I could remember where I read it, but another upstanding county official actually said something to the effect that (and I paraphrase but not by much) "Well, Trump got kind of a late start and by the time he started building local organizations we're about all that was left."

It's not easy to find local soccer moms or Kiwanis Club people who are willing to man the phones, put up the lawn signs and flog your crud every day. It's not surprising that if your message is crap you're going to attract crap.

From the same source.

It is really a shame "It's really all incredibly artificial and manipulated. It's practically fiction."

sunmaster, do you have any comment on this woman, (Trump's campaign
chair in Ohio)?

Was she manipulated into what she said?

Do you support her views?

My bold. Just in the one county, I think.
