He lost the popular vote by almost 3 million now and almost 2% of the entire country. That's a LOT of disagreement.

We have seen the right demonize for eight years. It appears the snowflakes on the right are not used to what will be equal treatment coming back on them with relish. This must be traumatizing for them. If SNL bothers the snowflakes on the right, don't watch it. We don't care what Fox News does, we don't watch it.
Better get to work changing the EC ... you haven't figured out yet that California doesn't drive the country and funding has nothing to with the EC. Hillary didn't have a majority of the national vote either. I'll bet you right now you have zero chance to change the EC to be based on funding. How about your beach house ?

And we don't care what MSNBC has to say ... we don't watch it.

This is coming from the side that so hates opposing viewpoints that they want the viewpoints changed? They want SNL to go right wing? Snowflakes that are so upset because Trump tempertweeted that they rush to demand that SNL change for them? Democrats never demanded that of Fox, they just ignore them.

The problem isn't SNL.
Well, that's questionable considering this past election. Maybe they've been more equal opportunity in the past but as of this election they've kind of thrown all of that by the wayside. Calling your opponents KKK and Nazis, vs a harmless poke at the well meaning but insularity of hipsters in major metro areas is a part of that problem.


Trump is thin skinned I give you that. He shouldn't be tweeting such butt hurt messages, I said this very thing in a previous post. BUT, my initial point is that Trump is just venting out the frustration that a narrative has taken hold and there are little counter points in the main. He is terrible at it and doesn't articulate this frustration many Americans have so he is open season for more ridicule.

So criticizing SNL and the mainstream media as being the PR arm for the Democrats is wanting SNL to turn right wing?


You have no reading comprehension abilities and I've just realizes it was a complete waste of time talking with you.


If you cannot get a simple concept then I don't know what to say next. I do find it revealing that you find that if SNL were to be an equal opportunity basher and not just a shill for the Dems then it would "move right". That is telling. Thank you for that one.

If snowflake Trump supporters think this won't come back on them, if they don't recognize that the coasts will not meekly accept the tyranny of the minority, they don't understand that what can't be done one way can be accomplished in other ways such as economic. It's surprising that they don't realize that a person applying for a job from flyover country may be viewed as less appealing. That companies looking to relocate may be less likely to choose certain locations. The division in this country is very real and the tyranny of the minority will have consequences. The snowflakes in flyover country need to get over their entitlement and solve their own economic problems.

Most of those who vote for such candidates know that they're unworthy and dishonest, but do it because they think some benefits will come to them. They'll take the spoils that are looted from the others, but that doesn't mean they would want to watch such low-grade fare on TV.
But this is more than just Trump. Trump is merely the face of a greater anti-establishment populist movement that has been buried under the surface for a long time. It isn't about alt-right either. It's about just not being such an obvious shill. To be more self reflective, to not irresponsibly demonize opponents as akin to the KKK/Nazis, to not paint the Dems and Hilary as paragons of virtue, etc.


You guys say, well just don't watch, they're only catering to their base, but holy crap, that means you guys don't mind shows that confirm tastes and biases like that? Then it's ok to just drop the pretense that it's an equal opportunity basher.

You're unhinged. Just please stop now. You are utterly devoid of any intellectual capability to rationalize any situation correctly. You have a complex against people you've chosen to demonize and want that narrative reinforced 24/7 and reflected in popular media.


You just want to hate. And it's weird, very weird.

SNL does not owe the right wing snowflakes a safe space. They can watch other shows.

You're complaining that a late-night comedy show, which no one on this entire planet including you or Trump is required to watch, should be politically "fair and balanced".

Again, the problem is not SNL.
