So I have a deep appreciation for late night host John Oliver and all he does, but I have an even greater love for one of his running gags. In several of his episodes he flashes up a joke alternative title card for his show and I have been collecting screenshots of these cards. Here is my collection.
I have a brief cameo in this episode of Last Week Tonight (Season 11 episode 10) about book banning and attacks on public libraries. It's available on HBO Max or here on youtube. It's also the 300th ever Last Week Tonight episode which is cool, I love a round number.
It’s classic last week tonight: clear, honest journalism that really hammers home just how dangerous a second drumpf presidency would be for everyone in America—especially those in one or more minorities.
Remember—voting is harm reduction. Republicans will vote for the cheeto no matter what, but the dems need every single vote. This isn’t about picking the most morally pure candidate, this about picking who you want to fight for change, a cult leader, or someone who might listen to reason.
The dems aren’t perfect by ANY means, and you must remember to hold them EXTREMELY accountable at all times, but they are your best and only shot to avoid this—and be able to make real change in america and across foreign policy in the future.
If you have privilege, remember that while you might have the ability to mitigate or escape the effects of a potential republican presidency, many folks that are much more vulnerable won’t have that luxury. The maga cult is aiming to change things nationwide. This isn’t just about changes at state level anymore, and even that was already a massive step too far.
I’m Canadian, but we know how dangerous that man and what he represents is. People across the world know. But we can’t vote in the American election—you can.
Anyway; John explains this better—and more engagingly—than I ever could. This election is about harm reduction before anything else.
