Probably unpopular opinion, but...

I don't trust Jon Stewart.

I don't trust anybody who says "not all trump supporters are racist." Which he did.

Of course, that was 8 years ago.

BUT...To anyone paying attention, MAGA was always about white supremacy and racism.

In his defense, no one really knew what the Trump agenda was about 8 years ago. We didn't really find out until he got in there. That said, in order to not be a racist and be a trump supporter you have to have an extremely large blind spot.

I believe Jon Stewart didn’t think everyone who voted for TFG was racist. I didn’t either. I knew what a maggot trump is and always was. Many had no clue. There’s stupid people in our country who just can’t think. Stewart probably faced his error same as me. I am painfully aware how wrong I was.

People who knew he lied about President Obama being an American knew.
Many people were repulsed by him. The people who made excuses for him were excited by his cruelty and beauty.

ANYONE who was paying even the slightest attention knew Trump was an extremely bad person, candidate, and threat.

We didn't know how big, but that's like not knowing if the incoming Russian missile is a single-warhead RS-20A or a 10-warhead RS-20B

Ignorance is no excuse
just don't

Anyone who didn't know wasn't paying attention.

And Jon "NY" Stewart knew exactly who Trump was the whole time.

Untrue, full stop. MANY people in NYC warned people not to listen to this asshole at every conceivable volume. I screamed about *EXACTLY* what he was, who he was, and what he would do if elected starting from the moment he started bleating about running in a serious way.

If this was even remotely true, he should've been disqualified simply for that fact. To not have a plan and still be given the highest position in the US. Make that make sense.

And he did and we knew. Just because some refused to see doesn't mean he didn't telegraph his intentions.

Uh yeah we did.

That you chose to ignore what he said or took him "seriously, not literally" is on you.

It was ALL THERE. Pretending it wasn't doesn't absolve him or you.

I can understand your unpopular opinion. I don't think it's fair at all to say everyone should have known what he would do. Some people were spot on and I wish more people would have listened. But hindsight is very easy to have later. It's not cool to write off everyone who didn't understand. Imo.
