President-elect Donald Trump wasn’t the only one who was angry with this past weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” but his voice was loud enough to drown out those of many other dissenters for a few days.
During the “Weekend Update” segment, co-anchor Colin Jost made what may have seemed to many like a routine joke playing off both Tinder’s recent update and Democrat Hillary Clinton loss in the presidential election.
“The dating app Tinder announced a new feature this week, which gives users 37 different gender identity options,” Jost set up the joke, his permanent smirk on prominent display.
Then, the punchline: “It’s called, ‘Why Democrats lost the election.’”

Too bad polls on the opinion show the country as a whole to be a lot more conservative on transvestites than gays http://www.pollingreport.com/lgbt.htm and then if you use your common sense, the anti-tranny side was probably far stronger in purple/red states than CA, NY, IL, etc. Or how the WaPo itself mentioned the memo sent to Hillary how she seemed to care more about transvestite bathrooms than jobs: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2016/11/22/daily-202-rust-belt-dems-broke-for-trump-because-they-thought-clinton-cared-more-about-bathrooms-than-jobs/58339cf3e9b69b7e58e45f1b/
Its amazing watching the left trip over themselves to figure out why Donaldus Magnus won. They'll never learn. I feel a 40+ state landslide coming in 2020.
I'd bet Jost gets physical threats far worse than "alt-right" trolls sent on Twitter to people, but from leftist radicals.
Is this app called Ginder?
Will the media have become honest by 2020 though or will they still be doing this same evil masquerade 4 years from now? I would think by then Tryump will have had some impact to drain the swamp of the media too.
he doesn’t need to; neither did Reagan. The Democrat Party is now officially the party of Islam, Socialism, and Transvestites.
Not by itself if course but the whole gender identity crap sums up everything wring with america
Nicely played
Remember the skit: "Pat"?
The joke was that we never knew if it was a girl or guy, and "Pat" was oblivious.
They couldn't run that skit now-a-days.
Why/how would Trump have an effect on the media?
These owners don’t care about losing money every year.
They care about pushing their agenda.
You think you’re gonna see more unbiased talk on the alphabets.
That’s crazy man!
You can’t spell “Triumph” without T-R-U-M-P.
Ginder?
Very good for pre-caffeine word play.
I am convinced there is no peace possible with these humorless would-be tyrants on the lunatic left. And they may well be the majority of our countrymen, at least if you count California as our country.
'Set up the joke?' Seems to me claiming that there are 37 different genders IS the joke...
The real issue implied is can a 17 marry a 32?
If not, then there must be marches on the mall
“In a response later on Twitter, Jost would argue the joke was arguing that identity politics, particularly on the left, helped Trump pull out his surprising upset victory over Clinton...There have been no reported poll results so far to back up that claim, and as Boston Globe columnist wrote,”there’s no evidence transgender rights pushed the country to Trump.”
They STILL won’t deal with the elephant in the room - which was the white vote, particularly the white male vote. Don’t think for a minute that pushing the rights of pervs to hang out in girls’ locker rooms doesn’t affect how Dems are viewed by those unwashed masses.
In any case, that’s all fine - if the Dems want to keep pushing issues like these, I’ll keep taking the VICTORIES on our side...
They are bought and paid for and now completely defined by special interests.
Was it Voltaire who said something along the lines of “If you want to know who rules you, note who you are not allowed to make fun of?”
True is does seem crazy after 2 Bush administrations and 2 Obama administrations, but you’d expect after 3 or 4 years of MAGA the results would make the media have to fess up. Wishful thinking I know but that is my Christmas wish. #DRAINTHESWAMP
I watched SNL last Saturday but I missed this joke. How insensitive of me!
: (
In Leftopia, being amused at the notion of 37 genders is haaaate speech. Good luck selling that one in the Rust Belt.
