Jon Stewart: Jon Stewart: Why MAGA Doesn't 'Give a S**t' How Cruel Trump Is

https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/jon-stewart-why-maga-doesnt-give-a-st-how-cruel-trump-is/


“They sell a story of you being forgotten, and of a country in decline, and of a people that have been abused and victimized, and this man, what does he say? ‘I am your vengeance. I will fight for you.’ And they don’t give a s--t how he does it or how punitive he is. And if that means threatening to arrest the Fed chair, so be it,” he continued, referencing the DOJ’s “unprecedented” criminal investigation into Jerome Powell.

“That’s how it’s all done,” Stewart said. “They’re selling a story that the reason why eggs are expensive is because some Somalis in Minnesota f---ed with a Medicaid program. Not that we spend a trillion dollars on, like, military equipment—soon to be $1.5 trillion—or not that we subsidize corporations and they suck a lot of the prosperity out of this country and they don’t distribute it in any way within the country, in any way that resembles fairness.”

Stewart concluded, “None of that matters to them.”

“Everything is done in the most egregious manner they can possibly think of because they want the fight,” Stewart said.
