The late-night TV landscape, once filled with humor and wit, has now become a breeding ground for neurotic bullies who are desperate to remove any sense of pleasure from their nightly broadcasts. This shift is particularly evident when discussing the disastrous debate performance by former Vice President Joe Biden during his 2024 campaign against President Donald Trump.
These late-night hosts, like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon, have all taken a negative stance on Biden’s performance, with each of them expressing their disdain for the candidate in different ways. Colbert admitted that he didn’t know what to do in this situation but expressed his belief in Biden as a good man and president. Meanwhile, Meyers criticized Biden’s ability to articulate the stakes of the election and called him a “wildly dangerous criminal and pathological liar.
Perhaps the most scathing critique came from Jon Stewart, who accused Democrats of being unwilling or unable to respond to voter concerns. He also called for an open convention in six weeks, suggesting that party elites should choose the next Democrat nominee instead of respecting the nearly 20 million votes already cast for Biden.
This sudden shift in late-night TV’s tone is indicative of a larger issue within our society – the erosion of democracy and the suppression of dissenting opinions. It seems that these once-humorous hosts have now become willing participants in this fascist movement, as they call for the dismissal of votes cast for Joe Biden and the dismantling of American democracy in order to prevent President Trump from being re-elected.
As we continue to witness the decline of late-night television’s once-thoughtful and entertaining nature, it is crucial that we recognize the dangers of this new wave of neurotic bullies who seek to undermine our democratic processes. We must stand up against these attempts to suppress voters and protect the sanctity of democracy in America.
