Summary
Jon Stewart mocked Donald Trumpās reaction to the war plan leak, accusing him of exhibiting āquick onset dementiaā whenever faced with accountability.
Stewart noted Trumpās aloof response to the security breach, where classified war plans were leaked via a Signal group chat mistakenly including a journalist.
Stewart criticized Trumpās repeated denial pattern, comparing it to previous instances where Trump distanced himself from controversial actions.
He also condemned the ācrazy arroganceā of officials involved in the chat, calling the situation a major national security blunder.
At no point did he say, āGive him a chance.ā He said, call what he actually does as legal, legal, thatās authoritarian as authoritarian and call what he does fascist, fascist. Is Stewart perfect in his takes? Probably not, but heās the best weāve got.
You did.
Second, defining fascism as only illegal acts is outlandishly out of touch. As if any fascist government doesnāt make the legal system work in their favor.
And if Stewart is the best youāve got, the situationās royally fucked. Get better people to look up to, for real. Anyone tiptoeing around calling out full-throated fascism for what it is isnāt who you want telling you whatās going on.
What country are you from?
You nailed it
Dave Chappelle did say to give Trump a chance after the 2016 election, that may be where some of the confusion is coming from.
