Patton Oswalt tritt gegen Trump und MAGAs „Grifter“-Comedians an

Patton Oswalt shares with The Last Laugh his thoughts on whether satire, like South Park or the late-night shows, is effective in changing people’s perception of the Trump administration or people in power:

„Remember when people say that Trump followers and MAGA people are lost, they are not lost. This is the only time in their lives they’ve ever felt found and seen and understood. And people will hang onto that until the bitter end, they will never, ever let go of that. Even if you show them on a chart how this guy is robbing you, they’re like, “He was nice to me, and no one’s ever been nice to me. No one’s ever accepted my horribleness. I’ve found people that are like me, and I’ve never had this, and I’m never letting this go. They’ll die with him if they have to.

„That’s why the Democrats drive me up a wall with this whole reaching across the aisle thing. Yes, you should try to reach across and work with them, but also you need to acknowledge there are some people on both sides—and I think way more on their side—that are just permanently unreachable. And that, by the way, is another thing that makes this country great: that you can have a chunk of people that are unreachable and the country still functions.“
