Every one of those comments is talking about how they shouldn’t be made fun of because trump won the popular vote, but did that stop them from making fun of any democrat that won the popular vote for the last twenty years?

just watched it, that was so milquetoast I can't believe anyone was actually offended. Shit, they just reused a couple jokes from the last time. That was it. He's scared of black people, that's the joke. magats are scared of anyone with more melanin than milli vanilli, so, uh, rings true to me

Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive
Well yeah. Conservatives very often are outdated and offensive.
Too bad they link to play it on xitter. WTF.
I saw some mags saying it’s offensive and racist, as if they ever cared about that and also, how is a white guy playing a white guy racist again?
Ok, ok, I REALLY gotta know what Trump supporters are actually offended by being called out as racists. Like, that's literally 50% of their entire thing with the other 50% being homophobes.
They’re looking for any excuse to be the victim.
Being called what they are is worse than being what they are.
They're offended by being called out. Doesn't matter what it's about, it's just the being called out that's the problem.

Because it's all dog whistles so "you can't prove it! I just don't like DEI, it's unfair!" "I don't like gay people being forced down my throat in all media!"
There's always a somewhat "proper" argument that hides the real reason they agree with it.
Meanwhile they just use DEI as a stand in for the N-word.
That mayor is a DEI! This pilot is a DEI! Etc.
It'd be funny to keep playing dumb about what they mean about "DEI" and why they are so grrrr mad about it until they get so apoplectic that they go full nCLANGer mode like Blazing Saddles guy.

MAGA fans wish they could be as well liked as Doug
Snowflakes
Anybody knows where one could watch that episode in europe?
Not quite an answer, but it was one sketch called Black Jeopardy in last night’s 3 hour long SNL 50th Anniversary special. Maybe that will help you find it.

Doug seems like an okay guy in terms of how he carried himself and was polite to the host. If they’re really offended over this character they really will be upset over anything.
The "Fuck your Feelings" crowd has very easily activated feelings

Every single MAGAt can fuck off and die.
Outdated? So admitting that your movement was racist, but trying to pretend it isn't racist anymore?

Well, Tim Allen offends me whenever I hear his comedy.
Go Woody!

Tame. What crybabies.
When you're insulted by TOM HANKS, then you know you're a fucking candy ass pansy bitch.

Outdated? Maybe. He's not making them look like nazis
Offensive? Not even close.
They literally did that exact thing last time
Honestly, his portrayal is more human than any interaction I've personally had with any Trumper (family coworker, stranger included).
I haven't seen the recent sketch--In the original though, his character was racist out of ignorance, but sorta open-minded and empathetic when actually facing black folks.
That latter part is probably what the trumpers actually find offensive.
Tom Hanks's whole brand is around getting you to emphasize with the cast.
If Tom Hanks is playing your character, it's an implicit compliment. An insult would be if they'd gone with Steve Bushemy.
Empathy not emphasis. Prolly an autocorrect but just pointing it out.
I would be stoked if either one of them impersonated me.
But Hanks was not complimenting them.
Sounds like a bunch of snowflakes
