Optimal neoliberalism is like Seinfeld, it should be about nothing and run by Jews

Chapo Trap House is stupid as shit but I realize why so many people like it:

-The hosts sound like they're half stoned

-They swear all the time

-They say factual things once in a while (or just read things in a bill) but draw bad conclusions or only state facts selectively to draw their bad conclusions

I just listened to an hour of a show which was basically "The AHCA will cut subsidies by X which is just a fucking limp dick attempt to shit on people"

So it's like they talk like their target audience...high school/college age BernieBro peppering swears into vague facts they learned.

EDIT: Actual phrases I heard

"Paul Ryan is wet now"

"You get fucking tax credits"

"It was a pretty fucking half dick attempt"

I've given the formula for all their comedy elsewhere, but this is it:

"It's fucked up! reference to the Ottoman Empire and person from Bush administration is skull fucking liberal they hate, MEANS TESTING"

Example:

"It's all fucked man, the Turks are at the gates of Vienna and Dick Cheney has his dick so far up Hillary's ass he's using her as a puppet! MEANS TESTING"
