And honestly, in Trumps victory speech, he couldnt seem to believe it either.
Yeah, it is crazy, Oliver replied.
Its really fucking crazy.
John Oliver on ‘Last Week Tonight.‘HBO
Hes basically one sentence away from saying, I mean, you guys saw what I did, right?
And you still voted for this.
That doesnt make any sense.
What, what a beautiful beauty today.
My brother and his girlfriend wife, sorry today they … they did the thing you all saw it.
I thought my part was done with the bachelor party, but here we go.
Marriage is crazy, right?
Oliver described the mixed reactions to the election, explaining that for many it has been a rough week.
It is understandable not to want yet another guy in a suit doom-squawking at you.
The host spoke about the grief people are feeling, saying there is no right reaction right now.
Lots of us are grieving, and grief has stages, Oliver said.
We take different amounts of time for different people.
The stage Im currently locked in is anger.
I am mad for trans people whove been threatened.
Im disgusted at the prospect of mass deportation.
Im mad that women have to hear your body, my choice from right-wing dipshits.
Im mad that Elon Musk is apparently sitting in on meetings with the president of Ukraine.
No, it is not!
No, it fucking isnt!
Why would you make a run at cover Whitney Houston?
Ultimately, Oliver concluded that of all the stages of grief its not useful to linger in despair.
Try not to completely obliterate yourself in despair, he said as he ended the show.
Despair doesnt help anything.
If anything, it makes things worse.
