Yes, Jordan Klepper is amazing. Like JO, it’s fun to watch and then I cringe and get depressed. Especially living in Iowa. Sigh. Thanks for the post! ---

I actually heard one of the morans once use the phrase : “Fascist Antifa”. They just get themselves all riled up spouting clueless talking points. ---

The old man insists that trump is really president and is in control, then what’s the problem? He should be happy! ---

When he got his own show I was confused. I didn’t find him very funny on TDS. Just more of the same kind of done-before stuff. But these last couple years he has truly shone. I really enjoy his stuff now. Well, not ENJOY because it’s horrifying, but he’s good. It’s like he found his niche and no one is doing it better. ---

Has he ever interviewed any of those “Blacks for Trump” guys? ---

I almost feel bad about laughing at these people because it’s like picking on the handicapped. ---

Remember, these people can vote. 74 million of them voted for a bankrupt real estate developer and game show host who basically failed to lead the country by essentially every conceivable measure. Idiocy is a genuine force to be reckoned with. Stranger ---

I could only take so much of the Texas A&M Jesus crowd but Klepper makes it as entertaining as possible. In general, he does a great job of interacting with MAGAs and drawing them out to comedic levels of absurdity.

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I wonder when Jordan Klepper goes to these events and points out the hypocrisy, is he worried about being punched in the nose? Because from what we’re shown, none seem to recognize the cognitive dissonance but if someone ever did, you think they’d get angry at him. A day four years late and a dollar short, this reminds me of the meme.
