MAGA melts down at Tom Hanks playing Trump fan on SNL50

Outdated? Maybe. He's not making them look like nazis

Offensive? Not even close.

You can't spell hatred without red hat.

(I can't take credit for this, I saw this comment on this same story elsewhere, and I thought it was so obvious that I can't believe it isn't more widespread)

calling it an unfair caricature of Trump voters.

Maybe they can get some thoughts and prayers from the ... *checks notes * ... immigrants eating people's cats and dogs?

Ok, ok, I REALLY gotta know what Trump supporters are actually offended by being called out as racists. Like, that's literally 50% of their entire thing with the other 50% being homophobes.

When you're insulted by TOM HANKS, then you know you're a fucking candy ass pansy bitch.

Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive

Well yeah. Conservatives very often are outdated and offensive.

If you're offending Trump supporters then you're doing something right.

The original Doug on Black Jeopardy sketch is my absolute favorite sketch they've ever done.

It's so obvious that poor white people would get along with and want to same things as minorities if they could just get over that racism and stop falling for the manipulation by religious and political leaders

Conservatives were not impressed, with many commenting online that they were quick to switch the program off.

The reason why they switched it off so quick because it reminded them of themselves and made those snowflakes uncomfortable.

At least when Tom Hanks is joking, it doesn't end up violating human rights and constitutional law.

Every one of those comments is talking about how they shouldn’t be made fun of because trump won the popular vote, but did that stop them from making fun of any democrat that won the popular vote for the last twenty years?

Sounds like a bunch of snowflakes

Apparently this passes for “melts down”?

That was hilarious. I don't usually care to watch a lot of videos online, but that was well worth it.

And holy shit, Tom Hanks playing the least racist person ever to wear a MAGA hat. Not nearly offensive enough.

They really hate it when you point out their racism, don’t they. Poor snowflakes.

Snowflakes.

Literally the whole joke last time he was on was that rednecks and black people have more in common than they thought. But leave it to these snowflakes to find a way to feel oppressed.

They simply cannot stand the ugly truth about them, those MAGA snowflakes.

Meanwhile Google removes Black History Month.

This was the best part and only real swing taken in an otherwise really disappointing three hours. Yeah, I hate that I have to say that but it was a nothingburger that had so much potential for comedy and good.

Do they not realize that the point of the sketch was that people have more in common than you think once you get rid of preconceived notions and prejudices?

Tame. What crybabies.

Are we still reporting on Tweets as if they are reflective of real human being opinions and not a psyop?

when are they not melting down? thier whole existence is around reactions.

While its funny to see the right bitching aroun like a kid that didnt get what they wanted, i watched the clip and as a european it was like watching a parallel universe.

Yeah it's funny that MAGA assholes are butthurt, but this also signals that "ThE LeFt" just does not understand a big part of why they lost: they have consistently ignored middle-class non-urban voices, for decades. (And not just "Hollywood types" like Hanks, I mean political leadership)

If political leadership and strong policymaking had been there for a majority of Americans for a long time, maybe just maybe by the 2010s the dumbass dick-swingin' rapist grifter wouldn't have found such a nice pile of grievances to conveniently turn to his advantage.

Well, Tim Allen offends me whenever I hear his comedy.

Go Woody!

Hollywood still doesn’t get it: Portraying Trump supporters as racist caricatures while he’s winning record minority support.

This is an important point, though. Trump's win was in part because of successful propagandizing and winning a ton more minority votes than in 2020.

just watched it, that was so milquetoast I can't believe anyone was actually offended. Shit, they just reused a couple jokes from the last time. That was it. He's scared of black people, that's the joke. magats are scared of anyone with more melanin than milli vanilli, so, uh, rings true to me

Every single MAGAt can fuck off and die.

Hilarious that having Doug on that show was literally DEI. And terrible white dudes are mad about it.

Outdated? So admitting that your movement was racist, but trying to pretend it isn't racist anymore?

And the sketch is just so good Eddie Murphy is doind Tracy Morgan with him there. Guy goes off script and almost stops everyone from continuing. Then Tom comes and you know it went hard. SNL hasn't been great lately but this one works great.

If the red hat fits...

"I'M not racist! YOU'RE racist!"

Doug seems like an okay guy in terms of how he carried himself and was polite to the host. If they’re really offended over this character they really will be upset over anything.

While looking in a mirror instead of the TV.

Snowflakes

Anybody knows where one could watch that episode in europe?

MAGA fans wish they could be as well liked as Doug

I hope that these low hanging low blows to the political opposition will not become mainstream here. Don't get me wrong, I think Trump and all of his staff are a threat to democracies around the globe.

But be better. Make analysis, make arguments that build on real journalism. Don't just spam memes and use political slurs. If you are not better, or takeaa moral highground this will just be another echo chamber...

Too bad they link to play it on xitter. WTF.
