Why Ricky Gervais Says Trump Voters ‘Are Victims Too’ And His Approach To Political Humor | PeopleTV

I really hate that now everyone is into politics like teens when most know next to nothing about politics and just parrot what they see on social media.

Like Gareth becoming branch manager. Suddenly the little fool turned into a tyrant.

This comment section just gave me faith in humanity.

I'm a Trump supporter but God bless Ricky Gervais.

One smart thing Trump did was say outrageous things to get a point across. I had to voted for him over Hillary! I voted for Carson in the primary. I thought our first brain surgeon as president!

That first bit about jokes is so true. Thats why i say offensive jokes at my liberal school

Wondering what Ricky's opinion is now six nearly six months in the Biden administration. Oh the comedic material to be had.

I am a Canadian and I would have voted for Trump

So Ricky says he "doesn't do party politics". Not in his act at any rate but when it comes to interviews it seems he's none too fussy, proclaiming trump voters to be "victims". Lol. And I guess he doesnt regard that as party political? I suppose its less harsh than what others in the liberal elite have been saying about trump voters and, this side of the pond, brexit voters, ie that they are racist. Nevertheless, to say voters were victims, is a patronising way of saying that (to use a phrase from one of his own sitcoms) "the little people" were too ignorant, stupid or gullible in their electoral choice. Despite being vocal about being anti woke, he uses woke terminology/framework in how he views people ie the voters were victims, trump was the mean old perpetrator. Its a very simplistic black/white, good/evil, saint/sinner view of human behaviour. For someone who claims to be an atheist he seems to have got drawn in to the ideology of the woke religion if he seriously believes that voters were victims of anything

“They were sold a lie” not really🤷🏻‍♂️

Ricky, you're in the top 1% of the top 1% you're completely out of touch with the common man.

I’m a former leftie who will definitely vote for Trump. He’s the best President we’ve had in years. You’re a Brit. What do you care?

Forgive Ricky he's just following the script I doubt he's actually done any real research apart from what CNN tells him to think. 🤯🤯🤯

Imagine Hillary won ,I feel sick thinking about it ,thank fuck for Donny trump
