As a wrestling fan, I'm sitting here thinking "good, I'm glad they are going, hope it makes John Oliver pout more." It's not their point of view, it's HOW they argue everypoint. They get loud and throw out insults. It's a child having a tantrum, and there are plenty of people out there who hear that and it makes up their mind the other way. Saudi Arabia is a repressive place that does horrible things, but if it makes people like John Oliver that upset, then there is the silver lining to me.

That's not why Trump got elected. It certainly didn't help but it's largely an overarching narrative that is given far too much weight. From my novice understanding, people tend to turn to populist, brutish candidates during times of economic distress.

While "The Left" fails in their inability to understand and communicate with blue collar folk (such as simple fan for instance), there could have been a chance with Bernie Sanders. But with Hilary Clinton, you had a smug, charisma vacuum who was such a bad candidate she didn't even do rallies during her campaign.

"The Left" has always been holier than thou thinly veiled racists (like Noid) who can't deal with their own white guilt and yet they've held power plenty of times. There's many more factors that got Donald Trump elected beyond the likes of Jon Oliver and virtue signallers on Twitter.
