Liberal political late night comedy paved the way for all those unfunny right wingers like Steven Crowder and the entire right wing alternative media which in turn spawned the leftist grifter twitch streamer ecosystem. Memes over politics has been the dominant political discourse for two decades now. Most posters here cannot remember or even imagine
what the landscape was like before that. People who "like politics" would likely fall asleep watching 90s CSPAN. So, thanks a lot, Jon Stewart.
