Gives me a little hope that it has two Million views.

Can confirm. When dealing with ideologues, their descent into childlike behavior is only a matter of time--particularly when confronted with objective evidence of their beliefs' falsehood. In some cases, one can see it flash across their faces that they're "going to safe space" when confronted with irrefutable evidence of being wrong. I've seen otherwise grown people throw tantrums like toddlers rather than face reality--including the chair of the Sociology dept at the local college as I meticulously took apart feminist dogma with data she didn't know existed.

Haven't we seen exactly this in the past two years or so, in the U.S. Presidential arena? Different faces of it, of course, but two presidents hounded by the truth reacting by attacking those trying to point out their 'errors' and descending to pointless finger pointing and name-calling?

What were the names of the Emperor's tailors?

I'd be interested also in seeing the storyboards that precede these presentations, maybe even some of the proverbial cocktail napkins preceding those.

I've got reservations about what personal biases this creator is holding out on (and how intentionally so or not), outside of the really-important stuff. As Penn and Teller used to say "Yeah, we have our own agenda, but we're upfront about it". Whether this guy ultimately grows on me or sours on me, he's got me interested enough ATM to watch and listen some more.

  uni_laocorn said it pretty well: this was an interesting introduction, but down which primrose path are we being led? Where am I going, and what am I doing in this hand basket?

I agree with it after all, they are going to hell for making it MUCH WORSE!

That's a neat vid, thanks for sharing. And yeah, it is true especially at the end where he talked about humor.

Like, man, Trump could not take a joke. SNL's been making fun of literally every President since Gerald Ford and Trump is the only dude who ever threw a hissyfit about it, lmao

I don't remember many mainstream comics/comedians going after Obama while he was in office, if they did it was a very light tap that did little to nothing to damage his image with the public, or make people question his policies. I can guess why nobody went in for a heavy punch, nobody wants to risk wearing a career ending label that people would place upon them.

SNL's been making fun of literally every president since Gerald Ford

But I will say this much

If you're a comedian, you can't get better publicity than the literal president of the United States tweeting about you. I can't blame comics for mocking Trump. That thin skinned baby would provide better publicity than all the PR firms in the nation.

I'm just pointing out something I noticed, Obama was rarely mocked by mainstream comedians. While almost every President and presidential candidate before and after, got more jarring remarks from said comedians.

Yes, Trump asked for some of it, but he's been mocked by comedians before he ever stepped foot into office, because of his spray tan orange skin, his hair piece, his tiny hands, and more.

The thing is... Trump's attitude, thin skin, and fame made him an easy target. Obama could take a joke and everyone and their mother makes fun of the president. Just look at the White House Correspondents Dinners

The difference is, with Trump, he would publicly acknowledge you. If you were a comedian, that was great for clout.

True that, but even the Correspondants Dinners, the jabs at Obama were quite tame, and rather pushy towards Trump. Trump also refused to attend them afterwards, which was a sign he was annoyed being poked fun at. And unlike Obama, Trump was willing to fire back if somebody attacked him publically.

Trump couldn't take a joke or any sort of criticism. He was basically a lolcow. The more you mocked him, the more he flipped the fuck out and the funnier it got. Basically, the ultimate triggered baby.

Everyone went after Trump.
The lies, the slander, the bullshit Russian collusion.
SNL are a bunch of corporate cock suckers and most of the old cast has said it.
Personally I hate propaganda.

Everyone went after Obama too. Remember the tales of his birth certificate? And Bush. Remember "Memogate?" And Clinton. Remember "Troopergate?" Heck, even LBJ commented on how he could walk on water and the newspapers would say, "President Can't Swim."

The difference is that Trump made media attacks and perpetual victimhood into his brand.

It was a boon for both of them. Media outlets would say something insulting about Trump, which caused Trump to flip out. The outlets got clicks/ratings/readers/ads; Trump got to continue his perpetual victim narrative.

"Waah Waah Waah, I'm a victim" Was basically the calling card of El Trumpo.

Yeah, I remember Hillary using that too.
No, Obama got elected two term and then called the country that elected him racist.

Despite this, the depictions of Obama as a foreign born phony were so popular that the next guy we elected was one of the biggest promoters of that conspiracy.

Strange how things work

I collected editorial cartoon books for decades, and under Bush Jr, the cartoonists, the majority of cartoonists drew him as a Chimp-like character looking like the utter dolt. And despite Obama himself calling his own ears "Like a taxi with the rear doors wide open.", the cartoonists didn't DARE draw him in a derogatory way. Along comes Trump, the cartoonists always drew him with tiny hands, massive bouffant hair and a body like a minivan. rarely was he drawn reasonably well. Along comes Biden...again...not making him look bad in anyway (except the few conservative cartoonists).

Even SNL didn't take nasty jabs at Obama, they certainly attacked Hillary, but even not on a scale as they did towards Obama. Alex Baldwin constantly attacked Trump (Admittedly, he did do a good job impersonating him.) And Jim Carry playing Biden a bit buffoonish.

But when Stephen Colbert took the reigns of Late Night from Letterman, Colbert went into a non-stop Bash Trump fest the minute Trump came down the escalator at Trump Plaza. Colbert didn't even attack or joke about Hillary. I stopped watching Colbert after a couple weeks cause he was just a one trick pony of Trump bashing and it was getting boring.

BTW , on Trumps hair, Jimmy Fallon actually questioned Trump, when he was just a candidate on his show, asking of it was a hair piece, Trump actually allowed Fallon to ruffle Trump's hair into a mess, and Fallon confirmed, it wasn't a hair piece.

I'm fully aware why nobody went after Obama with some hard hitting comedy, it's obvious, career suicide. Hence why most mainstream comedians or talk show hosts would avoid the subject, why comic artists would avoid making the one to three panel comic depicting him in a negative light, in fear that the exaggarated head and body proportions would be taken the wrong way.

Trump, unlike most presidents in the past, was bashed constantly and consistently by every media outlet known to man. I'm sure he asked for some of it, but it was at a much more personal level, compared to the previous administration, targetting him, his wife, his friends, and his children, nothing was off limits. If the man took a piss... there was somebody writing a story about it, his piss is mighty dark... might be a sign of illness.

I could go to any major website, google, yahoo, msn, bing, etc... the news and politics section would be filled to the brim with trump, trump, trump, look at what trump did. With maybe one or two actual newsworthy stories mixed in the cesspool of gossip magazine worthy stories.

I recall Obama, in negative cartoons, often being drawn with a long, skinny head and oversized ears.

Obama himself said his own ears stuck out and the cartoonists ran with it. But they also didn't draw him as a Chimp like they did with Bush Jr. I can rattle off names of numerous editorial cartoonists who did it each and every time, all from major papers.

To be fair, if you draw a black guy as a chimp/primate... that's... uhh... not a very good idea.

True, but it was perfectly okay to feature Jr as a Chimp. Imagine if Todays WOKE Community were around during WW2. They'd be having melt downs over how the Japanese were depicted, the Germans, Jews (well, maybe not the Jews since the WOKE community hates them too). Mussolini was always depicted as a big lipped, 5 o'clock shadowed buffoon or gangster, Goebbels was also done as a rat face or a rat, Tojo was a buck toothed, near sighted , hands dripping blood villain, Hitler was actually drawn with a bit more accuracy and oddly with a bit more respect, Goering was always a bloated lump. Churchill was always as a squinty eyed cigar chomping bulldog type. Stalin was rarely drawn in a negative way. Roosevelt was always heavy lower jawed and cigarette holder in clenched teeth and nose bridge pinched glasses.

But the Japanese were CONSTANTLY villainised as monkeys, bloody toothed/hands and bespectacled hunch backed monsters. Yet EVERYBODY drew blacks as big lipped, lazy, hunched over, sloped headed , and that was EVERYBODY. Y'know...Pearl Harbor set the stage on that. Times they are a changin'.

But I've watched and noticed how Republican Presidents are usually drawn as dark, evil, bumbling, though Only Jimmy Carter was attacked with vigor, always skinny with massive teeth and messy hair. Later on, depending who the artist was, Clinton was either drawn as a 'Slick Willy' type, or a chubby, grinning president. (Though Pat Oliphant always drew Bill as a bumbling womanizer and Hillary as a screeching harpy, and He's a liberal artist).

Most of the artists drew Obama as a tall, skinny, wide ear type, but never in a derogatory way. (Though a few arab newspapers drew him viciously) The only time Bush jr was drawn with any respect was around 9-11 and the few weeks after. Then it was back to Chimp Jr with big ears.

oh yeah, WWII propaganda was infamous for its... insensitive art, heh, but generally speaking, you wanna avoid using racial stereotypes when drawing grotesque political caricatures of people.

I'm sure that if Obama were Jewish, they'd abstain from drawing him as a typical "lying Pinocchio" because they'd wanna avoid the whole "big nosed Jew" image.

Likewise, a depiction of Trump as having small hands is more a reference to the (in)famous moment at the RNC debate where he talked about how big his hands were in front of everyone. That's more of a silly personal thing than anything else.

But yeah, Obama tended to be depicted as comically skinny with huge ears and that just seemed to work for folks. To be fair, he does look pretty skinny.

Remember when 0bama sent the IRS after critics? Peperidge Farm remembers.

I guess he was thin skinned AND a vile baby as well.

Political BS has nothing to do with how Trump couldn't take a joke, lmao.

Trump and co said that Obama was a socialist/communist, they said that he hated America. In the 1960s, when the John Birch Society said that shit about Eisenhower, that was considered enough to be shunned from decent society. In the 2010s, you had to say that or you weren't good enough for the GOP.

The difference is, Obama didn't throw a hissyfit on Twitter every time someone mocked him, lmfao.

Very apt.

This is a very interesting video, thanks for sharing this with us.

Wow! This sounds so close to everything going on in the world. So scary! I'm sending this video to everyone I can!

Good!😎
