Jordan Klepper's Post-Inauguration Day Reflection | The Daily Show

[@msf_rogue]

Truly sad that me, as someone who lives on the other side of the world is more informed about whats goin on than your average US citizen .

[@ottonormalverbrauch3794]

We saw it too from across the great pond and we're appalled.

[@ecurewitz]

Millions of Americans are proud of their ignorance

[@scoobydoo3928]

If it weren't for John Oliver, I would have no idea what Brexit was. Many here in the U.S. are painfully unaware of what is going on in most of the world, let alone our own Government.

[@xanderlopez3458]

Having lived in rural AZ, I feel like this is some reality TV show that is hard for people to watch, but we have to keep up with on a daily basis to get a thread of what’s happening. Americans can be both weirdly informed and out of touch, and I bet there’s much more happening than you’re aware of unless this is your home/career.

[@Utmoste8r]

I find that very sad too. We have so many willfully ignorant and uneducated people here.

[@XieronDraxin]

Like what do we do???? I feel like the country is driving off a cliff and I'm locked in the trunk and I can't do anything for another two years and its only been ONE WEEK. Sure, I'll call my reps, but that means that they have to listen.

Stop hating your neighbors, as long as our government keeps us divided they win.

[@Afrochilla]

The guy above said it. Be nice to each other unless you're being threatened in some way. Even the Trumpers. I think they're idiots for voting the way they did, but if I were to spit on them for it, I'd be just like MAGA. Unity will always be a far stronger force than division, it just needs to mobilize first, and it starts with forgiveness.

Isn't there a saying about how it's easier to lie to someone than to get them to admit they were lied to

[@nerfherder4284]

Shouldn't there be a saying about how it's easier to Google it than explain it to you?

[@Bobnineteensixtyone]

@nerfherder4284 Some people are just not interested in the truth , probably because it often undermines their own narrative.

[@valoriethechemist]

Not just a saying... we've studied it and the bigger the lie and the more people swearing to it the more people believe it... especially over a short period of time such as 3 months. And to get anyone to admit during that time that it's a lie is literally impossible. Our neurology itself doesn't work in such a way. And afterward they don't admit fault. They ignore it even happened. Just like Springfield. They lied, they all sweared to it... and for at least 3 months (including the election period) there was no chance anyone could believe otherwise aside from those who would reject it outright.

The defense mechanism shown by hockey jersey guy is very similar to how cult indoctrination sets up a means to shut out contradictory information, its a thought stopping process that preserves the indoctrination. I grew up a Jehovah's Witness and was conditioned to do the same thing when confronted with things that were "forbidden" for me.

I used to have complete trust in fellow Americans that the majority will always do the right thing. After this last election I've had to re-think my entire worldview. I guess I was living in a delusion that everything will be all right no matter what. I watch stuff like this and I'm horrified. How is it possible so many people could put blinders on to follow one human being? So scary.
