love to see liberal faces when they find out hes talking about establishment dems too
I would say there there is a time for criticism of the entire political process in the US, it just isn't right now.This might be have been made to take down Trump but it's gonna enable morons who like to yell at the top of their lungs that both parties are the same and it's doom to gloom. All of which is ultimately is used for political apathetism and not voting, usually to be a contrarian.
Because people are often ignorant of systemic issues?
The former is the implicationIs the message that voting for Biden will fix some of this, or is it just satisfying venting, just like the HBO comedy hour this is from?
Agreed completley.Problem is Carlin bit was obviously targetting the whole political spectrum as a corrupt system, not just the Republicans. You can agree or not, and I think some democrats are challenging that system while Republicans revel in it, but that's really not his point. He's saying Americans don't have a choice because polititians are not the ones in control, they're just puppets.
Carlin was obviously leaning left, but had zero trust and confidence in the polititians being a force for progress.
So I'm not sure I feel confortable seeing this broad criticisim being twisted to make it appear as being specifically anti-republican or anti-Trump.
But that's just my two cents.
Edit: it's pretty obvious that if he was alive he would tear Trump a new asshole, but sadly we're never gonna have that.
George Carlin leads to QAnon is a take, that's for sure.This is the same dangerous line of thinking that led to the rise of QAnon. Don't promote this.
While it may be true, this is the message that lead to Trump getting votes in the first place (i.e. fake news, drain the swamp).
Exactly.That rant is nondescript enough that it could just as well have been co-opted by the right and replace Fox footage with CNN.
You can play that audio to any red hat wearing Trumpist and they will agree with everything said only pointing the finger towards liberals, Soros and Bill Gates.
hm yeah, this george carlin ad is pretty interesting, I wonder what he has to say about the topic

So who is the George Carlin of our time? (or Bill Hicks for that matter).
In other words their humor is rooted in sharp and insightful political and social commentary.
Yep. Throw in a few democrats instead of republicans, replace the Koch brothers with Soros, keep *some* of the rich guys in, switch the june protests with the quarantine protests, use that photo of epstein and bill clinton. It would air on fox news next thing you know.That rant is nondescript enough that it could just as well have been co-opted by the right and replace Fox footage with CNN.
This could easily be used as anti-mask propaganda by the loonies today.
Is this ad supposed to make people excited to vote for Biden? Haha
