Summary
In an emotional monologue, John Oliver urged undecided and reluctant voters to support Kamala Harris, emphasizing her policies on Medicare, reproductive rights, and poverty reduction.
Addressing frustrations over the Biden administration’s Gaza policy, he acknowledged the struggle for many voters yet cited voices like Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman, who supports Harris despite reservations.
Oliver warned of the lasting consequences of a second Trump term, including potential Supreme Court shifts.
Oliver said voting for Harris would mean the world could laugh at this past week’s photo of an orange, gaping-mouthed Trump in a fluorescent vest and allow Americans to carry on with life without worrying about what he might do next.
It is his country, though. He holds dual citizenship.

What the heck? But he’s not “in” the UK either. He films in the US and lives in the US and performs in the US.
You are changing definitions of things and somehow you have decided fandom is a slur? I get it. I don’t like modern fandoms but like very different culture from people just trying to correct you on basic blunders.
I just don’t actually get your points at all. You could think we were deflecting or apologizing for him. But fandom?

An American could fly to Japan on holiday, an Italian could take the train to Germany, a Chinese national could boat to Singapore. Just because you can go somewhere else doesn’t change were you reside.
He could leave. So could lots of others, it’s not exactly a simple thing and not exactly a unique to him thing. You still care about your house when you leave home.
You are now changing the goal on what you said cause you still feel like you don’t want to be wrong but it’s really ok. I won’t judge you for backing off the ledge.
You said he wasn’t in the US, but he is. You imply he doesn’t care but that’s an opinion you can’t prove without being him. Just move on. You owe nothing to this argument and gain nothing for it. I hope you can, cause I already am.
Hope you get a moment to breath.

How is he not in America if he lives and works there and has done for a long time?
I know this one!
Because it’s a distraction from the original topic. Any nonsense conversation is better than a conversation that accurately criticises Trump.

Is he currently living in the UK?

Bonfire Night is really just not that big a deal over here. I’d happily bet you one shiny new pence piece that he’s in the US today.
Even so, the US president holds reach over his livelihood in NYC as well as his job in an American company.

That is one thing.

But it’s not. It’s not the same thing. You are assuming that’s equal but it’s not. It’s not work trips but his job and place where his home is.
I’m done responding to you but you need to stop assuming you know other people and everything right.
There isn’t other people agreeing with you in here. It’s just you. And it’s gonna make you lonely.
