I'm sure it will be a slow walk so the left wing audience doesn't go into cognitive dissonance/shock. But, it's a very clever move to co-opt the trusted media figures.
To borrow a familiar phrase, It has to be this way.
I'll share personal insight. Short of being a Trump rally groupie, Mrs. Fuzzy Bear is as full-on a Trump fanboy as you can get. Her twin sister is as anti-Trump as you can get without wearing the tattoo/nose ring/green hair uniform. She is fully attached to the left wing mainstream media including PBS, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher. I have hence born witness to many a fights over politics.
At one point I said: I don't know why you continue to fight with your sister. You're never going to change her mind through argumentation. She will only be persuaded when her local group of friends and family shifts, and that will only happen when her trusted talking heads in the media steer away from the radicals.
On this site we often speak of the forever-lost 4-6%. But it is the entrapped 30-50% that is holding our country back. The bad news is that they cannot be persuaded one-on-one through reasoned arguments. The good news is that's not necessary. The only viable approach is what we are seeing. a) Gradually take out the Rachel Madcows. b) Gradually have Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and the like shift the narrative away from left wing lunacy. I suspect Russel Brand is another captured comedian, albeit operating on a somewhat different audience.
Notice the power of comedy as a rhetorical device. The patter is too fast to think through carefully. It is rat-a-tat-tat (the topic), then the punchline (the opinion), followed by the laugh track (opinion injection via social approval). The method works on the conscious and subconscious simultaneously.
For the captured lefty mob, the way out is the way in.
Very well stated, but with one caveat: I believe that Russel Brand honestly broke his conditioning and started to come about years ago.
He has accepted Christ as his savior and although he is a lefty, he is a populist and this lets him see Trump and the MAGA movement as a positive thing.
This is what liberals need to question the lefts narrative. When DJT’s first admin would pole us on what the country needed, I said the left needs cnn and npr to tell the truth to wake these people up. But I never thought they’d still be asleep. They need the truth slapping them in the face, daily until it’s undeniable.
Surely you're kidding? This fn hack has made a living commenting on political corruption and he wants us to believe he was unaware that this level of purposeful inefficiency and waste has been going on in government for decades?
Come on, its an act, and a pretty crappy one at that. I'm surprised he didn't throw his chair for effect.
JS is a hack. He is well aware that this is the norm in government. Hell he reported on the train to no where corruption with Feinstein land deals ect more than a decade ago.
The only question is why is he pimping this bs now and to what end? Imho it's about hedging as the corruption gets more and more exposed until it's safe to go full leftist retard again. He's a nobody there's no deal here.
I think he was both. He might not be fully released from control, but his ignorance is melting away.
We need to encourage people to learn about and accept these things with as little kick-back/talk-back/resistance as possible, so it happens more. We need as many voices pushing this as possible, from every corner of every political persuasion.
he is a very smart guy, yet he has not grasped the potential for damage to this country the political side he is on is capable of, even now. he could just wake up tomorrow and refuse to believe anything he has learned lately. he has done it before...
People are slowly waking up to the fact that despite nothing being done, everything is falling apart, massive amounts of regulation and procedural crap making sure nothing is ever done, civil servants get paid regardless.
They should be all forced outside filling potholes.
Useless parasites.
Jon Stewart and Bill Maher clearly took deals to turn their Mockingbird Media apparatus on their old handlers.
Kinda what I'm thinking.

Agreed, he went 180 degrees and fully apologised and repented his sins. Ultimately he will have to face judgement, like all of us.
But I believe he is doing good things with his audience group.
How eloquently expressed!
True. Definitely a slow walk. Just look at the meltdown happening now with the Tesla situation. Push it too fast and it will be Summer of Love 2.0.

Though at times ugly, the awakening overall is a truly beautiful thing. I’m happy to see it happening to Jon Stewart.

He was either controlled, ignorant or both.

we'll see...

True but I’ve been seeing the change for a couple months now. I think it’s sticking this time.
Or we can just whip out a bunch of Starlinks. boom. done.
This is a freaking DOGE ad in disguise.
