Stephen's Show Won An Emmy! But Our Democracy Is Still In Big Trouble

[@aslbyweller]

Canadian here, I will not be storming parliament, sorry. Lol. I honestly don’t know how you handle the months and months of campaigning, we had 35 days and I was ready to blow up my tv.

[@alvarny77]

Now you know why Americans are so angry all the time.

[@tammyjantzen9004]

Trump never stopped campaigning, even while he was in office. He blew up all the protocols, precedents and norms in that arena! Like he did in so many other areas of the Presidency. He's not a decent man and doesn't have a care in the world about ruining our democracy. He's made the lack of civility normal, and so many are now following his bad behavior. It's acceptable now to call people names, threaten and bully everyone over the smallest of things, and show their guns or shoot someone because they now believe that that's their 1st amendment right, (it's not), per Trump & his enablers.

You say months and months, American politicians start campaigning as soon as they are elected. I live in the Niagara Peninsula.

[@dparker4765]

@@alvarny77 Americans also vote multiple times a year and that would drive anyone insane. A news outlet from Vancouver was complaining today that the province of BC had gone to the polls in some fashion once every year since 2013, except for 2016. I’ve voted over 20 times by mail in the US alone, in that same period. Not including the Canadian elections I’ve voted in, too.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve never heard of this show and I am looking forward to listening. 👍

I love how Canada has a short, but reasonable campaign period for their elections, but the truth is this snap election was still a waste of money. Trudeau only picked up 2 or 3 seats in Parliament, which means he still has to negotiate with other parties to get anything done. So his election is a success, but in terms of gaining more seats to have a solid majority to pass legislation without the threat of being defeated, not so much.

[@oxnyxws]

I thought it was a dumb idea but my father pointed out it was about $20 bucks each to find out that despite the pandemic nobody really changed their mind. I think Ontario and Alberta would like a provincial election though.

[@sweett2185]

Too bad. Does that mean you will be reduced to what we are experiencing in the US? We actually have enough votes, no one is willing to just do it. Good luck, neighbors to the North. At least Prime Minister Traudue is a sane man. He would have had my vote for being naughty. He made Donald's life a little more difficult. He is🤣

[@maxhydekyle2425]

Conan was the best part of that award's show by far. They are always such boring and dry affairs. He brought some fun to it because he just doesn't care anymore since he's done being a late night host.

[@EllRiver]

He has a late show on HBO though.

[@maxhydekyle2425]

@@EllRiver That hasn't aired yet, but it's not really going to be a late night show. At least not the kind of show that he was doing before. It's going to be more of a variety show. A lot of people think it's going to be more like his remotes most of the time.

"Let's get this straight. You physically count the votes by each State so that Trump wins." "Well, no, the House of Representatives does that." "Oh, well, then you must decide which Electoral College votes to count." "Yeah... well, no, my buddy Dan Quayle decides that for me." "So, you decide what the Senate votes on." "No, well, yes, I mean sometimes." "Well, Mr. Pence, what would you say, ya *do* here?"

[@patricktilton5377]

God, but his Eric Trump impersonation is hilarious. I'd love to see the real Eric Trump watching Stephen's impersonation of him, just to see him tear up at how true it probably is . . . so desperate for approval from the father who was never there to play catch with him. Sorta reminds me of Ralphie Wiggum from the Simpsons, but somewhat less lovable.

[@gamepapa1211]

Ralph deserves way more sympathy than Eric because his shortcomings are genetic and Eric's is wholly due to his own actions.

[@AdrianColley]

I cringe every time I see it. It's very much middle-school mockery. There's so much culpability around the Trump family, that it's distasteful to make the choice of mocking someone for being psychologically harmed by narcissistic parenting.

[@kwokfanfan3606]

@@gamepapa1211 surely Eric's shortcoming are also genetic, look at his abnormal parents.

[@ainumahtar]

@@gamepapa1211 Eric is the way he is due to genes, having effectively unlimited money for his whole life and never seeing anyone around him face consequences for literally anything. I'd argue he's much more a product of his dad than his own actions.

[@RamSamudrala]

@@AdrianColley I agree with you - I don't think that the observations themselves (that he tries hard to please his father) are that cringe-y but the way he does his mouth - it is very unbecoming I think to focus on appearance. Sometimes Meyers also goes into appearance which I think is wrong. Punch up not down. Yes, the target this time is well off and powerful but the appearance (lips, fat, etc.) joke can be applicable to others.

[@renegade44040]

That's such a nice award. The beaver joke took me a second @3:35 I nearly died after I got it. Bob Woodward should have told all back in February 2020 😡

Wouldn't have mattered frankly. Trump would have kept lying and the red hats would still listen to him.
