Description

Adam Serwer, author and staff writer for The Atlantic, talks to Jordan Klepper about two of his recent pieces in the magazine, one about the “dark fantasy” centered on unfounded conspiracies and immigration-blaming that Trump has manufactured for his followers to live in, the other about Republican “snitch states” where right-wing lawmakers criminalize and re-stigmatize services like abortions and gender-affirming care with incentives for people to tattle on their friends and neighbors. Serwer also breaks down the three circles of the MAGA universe and discusses his book, “The Cruelty Is the Point,” as it explores the community of cruelty that Trump has created for his rallygoers. #DailyShow #AdamSerwer #Trump Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

I really love how Jordan lets him talk and finish his thoughts without interrupting, I feel like you don't see that often! It's nice and it shows he's really interested in what his guest has to say.

"The cruelty is the point." -- one of the most prescient and accurate statements about the Trump era. Will always feel Serwer earned his place in the history books for summarizing this so succinctly.

Jordan this was a great interview for the day before the election. I'm not familiar with Serwer's writing, but he's calm and knowledgeable. We need to remember to keep cool and let the process work. I hope everyone has a safe and decent day tomorrow! Godspeed democracy!

Encouraging people to snitch on their friends and family and neighbours for things like this is what the Nazis did in WW2.

I have watched everything that Jordan has been invoved in. At times I got nervous when he would interview the maga followers. I have loved having Jon around during these times when I personally need to laugh and see a light at the end of a dark disgusting tunnel. Great segment tonight. Jon and Jordan really helped all of us remain calm and hopeful. Thank you both so much.💙🫶🗳💙👍🫠😍😃❤️🤍💙
