    I hear you from the realism perspective, but this is (hopefully) satire. Either you go all in with satire, or you don’t - you can’t half-foot a message when your audience is relatively unknown

      Nuance is dead.

      He actually says these things in real life, so it’s fair game for satire to use the type of things he says.

      If satire pretended that he didn’t say any of the things that sound reasonable at first, it wouldn’t be satire. It would just be mudslinging.

      “He had us in the first half” is like a goddamn mission statement with these people - pointing out real issues with the economy and then proposing the most batshit reasoning and “solutions.”
