Jessica Williams’ last report for the Daily Show profiles a group of Bernie Sanders supporters who now say they’ll vote for Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton. It’s downright frightening how stupid they are:
Williams is leaving the Daily Show to create her own new show (meantime, you can find her on the 2 Dope Queens podcast):
I’ve had this idea for a while about a young woman who is a feminist and who imagines herself to be “woke.” I think that a lot of the time, we have this idea that when you are, like, “woke” — and please always put this in quotations! — that you should always have your shit together. But I know that often for me, as a black woman of color, I feel like I’m supposed to represent these ideals and values that I was taught as a young lady. Like I’m supposed to carry myself in a special type of way, but oftentimes I’m, like… I’m still in my 20s, and still kind of a mess. So it’s a show about somebody in their 20s who has all these social ideas, but still does not have it together. [Pauses] And she’s, like, goofy and silly and funny!
Can’t wait for this. Plenty of smart but messy “woke” folks out here in Seattle.
It’s Portland. We’re in Portland. Portland is in the name just before Mercury.
