This is the exact reason I stopped watching last week tonight. We have some broken shit guys and all we ever hear is, “don’t touch that I have it just the way I like it.”

Does Last Week Tonight do this? I watch it regularly, but I’m not making the connection.

I think he’s more so saying that last week tonight feels frustrating because it points out clear issues that the average American should be frustrated about but then juxtaposes it with average Americans actively siding with the system or being complacent in it.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. I’m neurodivergent and sometimes things aren’t as straightforward to me :)

No problem at all. Have a great rest of your day/week/life!

It’s alright, the point wasn’t that straightforward and is somewhat dubious without further clarification anyway

Yeah and I somewhat agree. Conservatives seem to “rile up their base” with outrage, scapegoating, and a very loose grasp of reality. On the more liberal, thinking side, Jon Stewart is great and introduces some levity but points out issues that should be so blindingly obvious that it’s stressful that we can’t seem to do anything about it

No, what I wrote is confusing. The @oneortheotherdontaskme got it right.
