Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse—MAGA: The Next Generation
Jordan Klepper’s field work is rightfully respected by many folks who witness the comedy figure delve into the MAGA crowds and try to find something that doesn’t require total cognitive dissonance to actively support. The search continues.
But this latest special focuses on why so many young people gravitated towards the far right movement and figures, often for reductive and pathetic reasons. But it’s still interesting to see how folks are being radicalized by these people, and it’s done all with a heaping helping of Klepper’s signature snark, which helps it go down a bit.
Here’s the synopsis:
Has Trump converted these Gen Zers into MAGA true believers, or is this just a rebellious phase? In this half-hour special, Jordan Klepper is ditching the rallies and heading to Texas A&M, a UFC fight, and spring break in Florida to ask young right-wingers why they've turned toward Trump, Charlie Kirk, and even Andrew Tate.
Man we’re screwed.
