It was a bit shocking how much worse US political discourse has gotten since last time I watched him. I didn't even understand most of the problems... Something about the superbowl teams reflecting also political affiliation... Was this making fun of how dumb "team mentality" is regarding Republicans/Democrats.... or just reached the point of it being as literal as it seemed?
The political drama of the Super Bowl was mainly between Republicans that disike California versus Republicans that dislike Taylor Swift.
I don't want to bother you with having to explain it even further. I think it would help me if you assume that I have no frame of reference for why things are so political.
Taylor Swift is somehow related to the Super Bowl event, so, I'm assuming she said something, or performed in it? She seems too frail to compete. And, California... hm, maybe where the event was held? CA maybe also passed something recently in the state supreme court or something that Reps dislike?
These things, seem like a random collection:
I tuned out of US politics after the 2016 primaries (when it became clear that we were in the worst timeline), and... taking a peek now that Stewart was back in the Daily Show is just confusing. There are just too many degrees of separation between whatever seems to be going on there, and .. sanity.
