Well, I was not familiar with who this guy is myself, and it's not like people haven't said that and meant it

. I guess that I took it seriously when I shouldn't have, touché. I am a big fan of satire whenever it is used to ridicule the people who are in a position of power. Not so much when it targets people who are in a position of weakness. But I guess that it is is his job to be highly inappropriate, he wouldn't do it right if he didn't shock people.
I do think that in general the situation is so polarized on everything at this point that it has become very difficult to talk about things constructively, and both parties are to blame for that. Trump was the obvious catalyst, but the Democrats fell for the trap of trying to do anything and everything that they could to make him fall. The New York Times, which used to be a seriously newspaper, has turned into propaganda that is probably not that much better than Fox News.
The same thing happened in Italy with Berlusconi. The outcome of that was that good ol' Silvio stayed in power for about ten years, so... Doesn't seem to work very well.
I suppose that this is more of a discussion for the "presidential election" thread though. Oh man, look at me going offtopic on the offtopic. But I guess that we've been going on a tangent for a while now.
