Bush and Trump are entirely different beasts. Bush had the Bush name to give him legitimacy initially and the Iraq war fervor to keep him going. Trump has been publicly a buffoon his entire life and the media failed to properly call him out. We needed a strong media presence to tear him down, and Stewart could have been that.
This is the same Stewart who pulls shit like this https://thegrayzone.com/2022/08/31/jon-stewart-pentagon-ukrainian-nazi-disney/ , all while posing as a Progressive ally for the cameras. We mistake singularly witless "comedians" like this as forces to be reckoned with at our own peril
