SNL, Margaret Brennan, and EU elites mock Trump supporters, yet their own cluelessness only fuels the populist rise they fear.
Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left.
In its too-long 50th anniversary spectacle, Saturday Night Live offered a skit in which marquee actor Tom Hanks did an impression of what the left thinks is a supposedly neanderthal Trump supporter.
The episode was NBC’s tele-version of the recent Obama-Hillary Clinton-Biden vocabulary of cheap MAGA disparagement: clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, chumps, dregs, semi-fascists, and ultra-MAGAs.
Most of those stereotyped props were evident in Hanks’ character.
He was wearing a red MAGA hat (real and not the fake versions of Jussie Smollett’s wild and sinister imagination).
Hanks sounded off as a superstitious evangelical, a slow-speaking Southern twanger, and a poorly dressed slob.
And of course, the SNL writers insisted that he play the gratuitous racist. So, Hanks, as a clueless Black Jeopardy contestant, initially refused to even shake the hand of the African-American, assumed intellectually and morally superior, gameshow host.
We are supposed to believe the Hanks caricature is in contrast with progressives—usually represented in society as the bicoastal enlightened, well-spoken, and snappily dressed.
Perhaps the SNL crowd thought the counterpart to Hanks’ MAGA sluggard was the recent hard-left, Democratic standard-bearer—the eloquent Kamala Harris of mesmerizing word-salad fame?
Aside from the reality that Trump captured a record number of African-American male voters, nearly split the Hispanic vote, and made gains with Asian- and Jewish-Americans, he also won massive defections from Wall Street and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
So, does the SNL, Tom Hanks, or the left have any idea why it lost the popular vote due to such a diverse

Have we given up on article titles for the titles to our threads? New FR policy?
Title should be “
Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and the European Ministers—Reveal It All”
White liberal 'elites' are clueless ...
Sorry, I started posting it in the wrong category and then copied the title and switch to the new category. But when I copied the title it did not copy all of it.
Ah, got it. I was thinking you were a veteran thread-poster here, so that makes sense.
If you hit “abuse” on your own article, or directly ping Admin Moderator, I think the title can get corrected.

They’re not that dumb. What are they doing here? Tom hanks? Snl? What exactly is the real issue here. Margaret Brennan has a foreign affairs degree from UVA. What’s going on here?
Lame, dated and groundless....AND not funny 🙄
There is the Afro Heritage Minority-Majority that is Black
There is the Afro Heritage minority-minority that is black
Black is bad and was defeated. The Trump mandate includes the end to the practice of the Black Ass Kissing that was the daily function of the Democrat party during the Biden years.
Many who are black are deserting the Plantation Cities for life where the Black culture is not present. The Black City State Plantation culture of subservience and segregation is being seriously eroded. Eroded enough to insure the Black Minority-minority lacks the clout to maintain control
The Black nightmare is gradually being replaced again by The Dream
I did that a while ago.
The European apparat knows their own past two decades of massive illegal alien influxes, disarmament, deindustrializing, crashing fertility, green mandates, high taxes, crushing regulations, asymmetrical trade tariffs, and suppression of free speech and dissent were precisely what created the populist backlash.

Of course they are, like follows like
What is “SNL”?
My “I Don’t Care Margaret” T-shirt is supposed to be here tomorrow. I wish global warming would kick in so I don’t have to wear a parka over it. It’s Punxsutawney Phil’s fault.
If you are like me, and have not watched SNL since they lost there humor decades ago, at least you get a flavor of what VDH is talking about.
