to anybody. So I get it.

Jimmy Kimmel was on Sarah Silverman’s podcast and he admitted that what he called repulsive liberal scolds are driving people away from the Democratic Party. I feel like maybe there’s a self-awareness problem at play here. Is it possible that Jimmy Kimmel might be one of those repulsive liberal scolds? Because it might look like that to some people, but no, Jimmy Kimmel is sure that it’s other people who are the problem. You know, it’s probably other people. Yeah. Yeah. It’s not what I’m doing every day. It’s those other people.

And then apparently Kimmel has obtained Italian citizenship just in case he needs to escape the country. But the funniest part was watching Silverman and Kimmel agree with each other that as bad as they thought it might be to be under a Trump administration, it’s much, much worse. And they never mention anything. They just don’t mention anything. What is the worst part? Are you being rounded up? What exactly is going wrong in your celebrity daily life? Did your dog walker not show up on time? What exactly is the nightmare that they’re living that I don’t even know what they’re talking about? I live in the same country. I’m in the same state, right? I think they’re in California and I don’t know what they’re talking about. I have no idea.

Now, I feel like if you push them, they would say something like, “Well, the authoritarian things, the authoritarian oligarch.” And then you say, “Right, right, right. I hear the words, but what would be an example?” Well, yeah, they’re rounding up and sending the hardworking immigrants back to the country of their origin. To which I would say, “Are you talking about the main thing he said he would do that’s completely legal and hadn’t been done in the country by majority wanted it done?” Is that the authoritarian part? The part where most of the country wanted it and that includes a whole lot of people who are Hispanic are also supporting the mass deportations and the black Americans also supporting to a large extent, I don’t know if it’s a majority but supporting the deportation. Is that the part that’s the hellscape that they’re experiencing? Is that it?

Now, I’m not super in favor of law-abiding people who have been here 20 years and paid their taxes and their kids are in school and you know, I’m not really in favor of shipping them back. I know you are. I get it. We’re not going to argue at that point. And I would argue that how you feel about that situation, the ones who have been here a long time. I really don’t care about somebody who came this year. If there’s somebody who came this year and you want to ship them back, you’re fine. Or even anybody who showed up during the Biden administration, I’d probably be okay with shipping all of them back. But if somebody’s been here 20 years and you know they’re literally a Trump supporter and their kids are doing great in school and everything, you know, that’s, I understand the argument for not making exceptions. I get it. I get it. But from a human empathy standpoint, if you have enough contact with that part of the world, it’s really hard to be in favor of shipping them home because home doesn’t exist.
