As much as I hate Trump and His Posse, I agree; the voters who gave them power on purpose are the ones I hate the most. I'll probably never forgive them for what they've done.
And don't forget the ones REALLY to blame for Trump being elected president...the democrats who were upset with the democratic choice and chose NOT to vote at all...Trump didn't win by a landslide, he didn't win with a majority of voters...he won because a large group of democrats chose NOT to vote....this is the only reason! I mean, republicans are republicans...you can't blame them for voting...but you CAN blame those democrats who CHOSE NOT to vote...this is all on them and them alone!
They share responsibility for this but if it comes to who will be more directly dangerous later the MAGAts are actively trying to ruin the world and wipe out their enemies. The moronic "genocide joe" protest no vote Democrats are more likely to not get off the couch than show up to their shift to work the ovens.
The problem is they don’t *want* to believe it because it means admitting they were fooled. So when Fox News tells them, “Trump’s not a fascist, the ones calling him fascist are the REAL fascists!” They accept that, because it’s easier than admitting they were dumb. Which in turn makes the next terrible lie easier to believe too.
the amount of abled self-professed "progressives" who would freely throw neurodivergent and otherwise disabled people under the bus the first chance they get is deeply sobering. it's not just a "moderate" problem either, it's a bit of an in-joke that anarchists get pissy when you ask them how disabled people would benefit from an anarchist society.
That may be because some of Elmo's fan boys defended his nazi salute with it was a Roman salute and something something bot fair to criticize him cause of autism. At the time everyone railed on that BS, comedians even did bits mocking the defense as being shitty for defending nazi's and pretending being autistic makes it cool cause other people just didn't understand what he was doing.
How is noting that the clip isn't funny to me being a wet blanket? It's like acknowledging that "Don't Look Up" is fucking terrifying. I didn't say Maron isn't funny, just that this clip is just him describing where we are, in a slightly snarky tone.

Same here, Marc, same here.

heyletsbefriends
only 50 million? you mean less than 1/3 of the US population voted?
JuWoo
Love you, Marc!

Which set is this from?

I wish Greg Giraldo was still alive. The things he'd have to say about the current state of the us would be hilarious.

A great man.

Is this the guy from that 80s wrestling show? GLOW? Damn that was a good show. Thanks for cancelling it, Netflix

he was really good as Mr. Snake in the Bad Guys movies.

About as accurate of a summary as you'll ever find.
wouldClimbForCash
Yeah, but the vast majority wasn't laugh worthy. Actually I don't know why any of that was funny. True? Yes. I guess there's no accounting for taste.
lonosham
He was great in Stick
awevans1415
He was also great in G L O W!
DangerBaer
He was even great in a horse!

If only that had clued people in to who he was. Sadly, lots are completely blind to his fascism.
screwmedailab
No, they were not.

They are fascist, they just don't realize it !

Not crazy that he threw in "autistic" as a negative descriptor, but the rest was spot on

we as a collective humanity will not be free until ALL marginalized people are free, and that includes the disabled.

jayman0123
I didn't read it that way, not all of the descriptors were negative. Jewish, techno, autistic, etc.
bitemark
The Jewish part works because it's followed with "Nazi," why is "autistic" supposed to be funny? Why say that at all?
ATDWorks
Saw Marc Maron perform about a year ago, he was hilarious.
spiderjohn36
I was supposed to see him the winter of last year and I had something come up. He's one of my bucket list comedians to see live.
icanc4
He is my spirit animal

Thank for his name, this is the first time seeing him, I'll see if I can find more of his work.
ATDWorks
I really liked his first show Maron, probably the best place to start. Glow was also excellent
TomBrokaw
I agree with every single thing he said in this clip but I don't think it's funny. he's just providing a description.
MrPengy
Honestly, I also don't enjoy this style of stand up, but it's kind of silly to come to a post just to claim it's not for you.
MelfsAcidArrow
I can understand

Feel free to point out the jokes. I don't see/hear them.

Didn't say there were.
Also not explaining comedy to wet-blanket randos. Cultivate some joy in your life.
