Host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” host Desi Lydic recently melted down on air over President-elect Donald Trump’s massive victory in the 2024 presidential election. Across the mainstream media, liberals have lashed out as they prepare for the incoming Trump-Vance administration at the beginning of next year.
During the segment, Lydic delivered highly derogatory comments about Trump, stating, “He’s a dictator, he’s a fascist, he’s a malignant narcissist who’s blood type is fryer oil,” The host continued, “It’s pretty clear that America is the one that needs the diagnosis, because whatever’s wrong with him, we f*cking love it.” She continued, “In this moment, Donald Trump is holding up a mirror to the American people, and it might be time to take a good fucking hard look.”
“And I’m sorry, I told myself that this show would be uplifting tonight, and give people hope and inspiration, but unfortunately, I’m too depressed,” she added. Lydic proceeded to ask her co-hosts to give a message of “optimism” or “hope” for the viewers. “I can’t help anyone, I can barely help myself,” Troy Iwata stated before noting, “I am in a deep pit of despair.”
John Johnson asserted, “You ever go to the clinic thinking you have herpes? And then you find out you do have herpes? But it’s kind of nice, because now at least you know. Was that inspiring?” Ronny Chieng claimed, “If you are feeling upset or hurt or depressed about the turn toward fascism that your beloved homeland is taking, then all you have to do is this: just look into your heart and you take out your foreign passport, and you go back to Malaysia, where you came from, until Trump leaves office.”
While the many pundits in the media have maintained that Trump will be an authoritarian dictator, co-host of the left wing show “The Young Turks,” Ana Kasparin dismantled the accusations that Trump is a fascist. “Ok. Fine. I’ll bite. Fascism requires a militarized citizenry, conquest/imperialism, the elimination of our governing bodies (like Congress) and the notion that anyone who isn’t part of a master race should be *massacred*. Weird thing to label a guy who brags about not starting any new wars. He also passed criminal justice reform and personally pardoned black inmates who were serving life sentences for drug crimes who Obama was unwilling to pardon. But I’m the “fucking stupid” one. Okay,” she wrote on X.
Users on social media reacted in agreement with Ana Kasparin. “The hyperbole is exhausting. Same thing the Left did with “racism.” Cutting the line at a Deli in front of a black person is not the same as operating a slave ship in the 1810’s, but you’d never know the difference if you asked a modern Democrat,” one person wrote.
They continued, “Wanting to deport illegal immigrant criminals convicted of double homicide in Venezuela is not “fascism.” Saying you want to end Fentanyl poisoning by stopping drug trafficking is not “echoing Hitler.” Poisoning the blood was a literal and legal definition. When someone dies from Fentanyl when they didn’t know what they took was laced with Fentanyl is literally called “Fentanyl Poisoning.” That’s what Trump was referencing with the “Poison the blood” reference – he wasn’t talking about interracial marriage. If the Left spent 25% of the effort they dedicate to being outraged into doing basic research – we’d be in a lot better place.”
