Summary
Elon Musk has tentatively agreed to appear on “The Daily Show” for an unedited interview with Jon Stewart, who recently criticized DOGE’s federal workforce cuts so passionately he injured his hand during a segment.
Stewart condemned Musk’s approach to government efficiency, arguing against indiscriminate firing of federal employees.
The show officially accepted Musk’s condition for an unedited appearance.
Despite controversy over Musk’s recent email demanding employees justify their jobs, Trump reaffirmed support for Musk at his first Cabinet meeting.
I’m really surprised the left hasn’t started to attack Jon Stewart for something yet. It’s coming. I guarantee it.
On what grounds would that happen?
Republican fake accounts start spreading clips of Stewart being friendly to Musk and then a bunch of others write comments like “I never liked him” and “traitors gonna traitor” and eventually the rest just pick it up for content. There’s lots of ways this goes down. It’s gone often. The fact you can’t see it coming is why it keeps happening
You should engage with reality more instead of making things up that you want to happen.
I mean, clips being taken out of context would not be a new thing, and some people may react like that because they never knew John Stewart. But to conflate that to the whole of “the left” seems to be overblowing it to the point of absurdity. And John isn’t going to just spend his interview pointing at musk going ‘NAZI’ for an hour. They are going to talk, and he’s going to ask hard questions in a comedic way and give musk all the rope to hand himself. You can see his past interviews as a primer to see how this goes.
I was asking on what grounds as in what makes you think John Stewart will suddenly change from how he acted his whole life. Not how people could try to defame him out of context.
Because the same way a lot of people have. People are getting tired of the left and their approach to every issue. They are disorganized, unintelligent mass that hasn’t accomplished anything in the past 20 years worth discussing.
You conflate democrats with the left. They are not the same. Democrats are a right leaning political party. The US has no active left wing party. The correlation of left voters and the DNC is an acknowledgement that republicans are further right, harmful and evil in the extreme, people are upset at the democrats because they have refused to run on left policies, the democrat lawmakers with a couple of exceptions act as republicans from like 15 years ago in policy. They haven’t done anything because they like things the way they are now and the left has no leverage over them.
And again John Stewart is not overly sympathetic to the DNC and calls them out for their bullshit on the regular. Your POV makes no sense
No I didn’t conflate them. Democrats aren’t even left. It’s shit like this though. Like calling a guy and his base an idiot then constantly losing the entire government to him multiple times. It’s the lack of foresight. Lack of organizing and putting effort into places and things that work. It’s falling for traps and overall not being a cohesive group.
The people you are referencing being tired of the “left” ARE the left. It’s the democrats approach to the issues the people (the left) are getting tired of. They are disorganized because the voting system prevents them from running. The reason there have been no progressive policy victories in 20 years is because democrats have a vested interest in preventing it. I said you conflate democrats and the left because you lay the blame on the wrong entity.
Your comment about the left being unintelligent is a mask off moment and shows you are not an honest interlocutor
well he has been the subject of criticism from leftists. the daily show’s schtick for over two decades is pointing out hypocrisy in conservative politics, which is completely ineffective because you cannot shame a conservative politician into doing anything. also, many of jons arguments and comedy come from an incredibly centered political stance, which also wins him no favor from the left.
Which makes Jon a threat when it comes to optics and right now the right has mastered optics. They will target him. And when I say target it, a lot of people might think they will attack him. No I mean they will convince the left to do it. They play the left like a fiddle.
