5 min

Tim continues arguing both pro- and anti-Trump camps are addicted to the drama and don't want it to end, clarifies his Patreon joke about Kamala Harris and the Patreon CEO wasn't a real threat, and discusses the 2020 election irregularities without conspiracy conviction, comparing it to Bush v. Gore.

In this bit9 moments
  • Everyone's invested in the idea that nothing will ever change, which is unhealthy and weird.
  • Both sides are holding onto Trump — people who called him Hitler think he'll terrorize them forever, while still watching Stephen Colbert and John Oliver take him down.
  • Tim clarifies that his joke about Kamala Harris executing the CEO of Patreon was a joke, not based on inside knowledge of actual planned events.
  • Tim spoke with his conservative cousin who believes the election was stolen, but Tim hasn't done a deep dive and doesn't think it's shadier than previous elections like 2000.
  • Tim doubts there was an Orwellian plot to steal the election from Trump, who wouldn't have cared about democracy if he'd won.
  • Tim tells people upset about the election that he doesn't care — they're idiots for obsessing over it while he's moved on.
  • The moment of Trump's glory was fake and has ended; it's like a school play where you performed in front of everyone and now must go back to class.
  • The Nelk kids seem like smart business people at dinner, despite making videos of themselves jumping off roofs into pools.
  • TikTok kids are becoming angel investors and dumping money into companies like pet food startups.
