I appreciate that you haven't lost the context in which this election is taking place in which one of the candidates tried to overthrow the government. But I think slighting Stewart for not being more alarmist is misunderstanding him. He was never another MSNBC talking head that screams about how the world is coming to and end because of something that the right did. He was always a grounded voice of reason that would give insight into specific issues.

If he starts screaming about how Trump is the devil and going to destroy everything, whether that is right or wrong, it would be completely not his stylenand also be ineffective. He takes people down by criticizing people by using their own words taken in good faith to show them not acting in good faith.

Honestly, Jon should start taking lessons from Seth Meyers. His "A Closer Look" series have been killing it for the past few years.

It's not about screaming about how Trump is the devil. It's about making him look like an absolute, total idiot who can't even tie his own shoes.
