‘F—k Us, F—k Me, I Was Wrong’: Jon Stewart says liberals didn’t expect Trump to win fair and square

Jon Stewart admitted Friday that liberals are shocked that President-elect Donald Trump so easily won reelection fair and square, saying bluntly, “F—k us, f—k me — I was wrong.”

On his podcast “The Weekly Show,” the seasoned political comic said the most shocking thing about Trump’s spectacular comeback victory is that he achieved it through a legal democratic process.

“I feel like we were prepared for all scenarios and in each one of those scenarios it was, how is Donald Trump going to finagle his way back into the [White House]? How is he going to use undemocratic principles?” Stewart said in the episode, which aired Friday.

“What measure of intimidation and underhanded [shenanigans] will this man use to worm his way back into the Oval Office?” he asked of conspiracies soon proven wildly unfounded.

“And it turned out he used our electoral system as it is designed. And in that moment, I thought, well, f—k. I’m not sure we have a team of lawyers for that,” he quipped with a glum inflection.

Part of being a grown-up adult is admitting your mistake and moving on. Neither of which has been done. They act like spoiled children.

[freedomfest]

Turns out that paying celebrities to lecture to people about who to vote for is a bad campaign move, Turns out celebrities are starting to find out that the majority of Americans don't care what they have to say.
