Nah, you're not wrong.

In fact, one thing I've noticed about Hubski culture is that most users give the average American far more credit than the stupid fuckers deserve.

I'm not going to pretend that Oliver is something better than one small step more informative than Stewart or Colbert.

I wouldn't classify his talking points as strictly liberal, but I won't discredit your perception of it being somewhat of a circle-jerk.

Living in Texas is especially psychologically crippling though. I had to listen to Lamar Smith give a speech 12 days ago. It does strange things to a man.

Disclaimer: I didn't vote, so take that as you will.
