Summary

Tom Hanks reprised his 2016 “MAGA” character, Doug, on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, sparking backlash from Trump supporters.

The sketch, Black Jeopardy!, featured Doug again hesitating to shake hands with a Black host.

Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive, calling it an unfair caricature of Trump voters.

    Looking at some of the response videos from maga supporters I realized that they’re the most butt hurt demographic in existence.

      Bruh, its like everything else from conservatives.

      Anything they say is projection.

      They scream that democrats, gays, etc are pedophiles.

      What group is on the news every day with a new child molestation arrest/conviction? Conservatives.

      They laugh at and mock democrats for being snowflakes that get big hurt over existence.

      What group is constantly whinging online about their feels being hurt over facts? and trying to hide their tears behind the the SDE of impotent rage.

      Everything a conservative says about another group, is in fact a confession about conservatives. everything

        They think if they are having an issue with it, everyone else must be as well.

        It’s part of the indoctrination of sin from the church as well.

        It’s also a pretty common logical bias from smart people thinking others think or know what they do.

        Apparently we are all the same flaws with very different responses to them.

      And what’s hilarious is this character is actually dead on. I’ve met people just like this character. I guess that’s why they’re butt hurt

      If they don’t have something to be angry about, they don’t have anything at all to say. It appears that fine-tuning the ragebait algos for max engagement has had a persistent negative effect.

    • Like a decade and a half ago Starbucks had been nerve to put. Happy holidays on there winter season cups, and the right wing lost their shit.

      They cannot be taken seriously with their complaints about being victims.

      Liberals are constantly offended because conservatives are constantly attacking everything around them.

      Conservatives attack everything around them because they are offended by EVERYTHING!
