If you cast everything else aside this becomes a simple "by their fruits ye shall know them" situation.
The people (such as myself) who were in college when Jon Stewart was at his peak in the early 00s have now been out in the world for 20-ish years. Now that his acolytes have had the chance to re-make the world in their image, would Stewart conclude the world of today is more sane or less sane than it was 20 years ago when they had zero political power?
Yeah, "when my guy gets in and you're upset about it and complain, you're insane, but we'll pretend to be magnanimous in victory by calling you insane. But when your guy gets in and we start burning down cities over it ... we're justified because you and your guy are still insane."
I know better about him nowadays and he really does come across to me as a mercenary who will just do whatever bits he's contracted for, the question is who owns him now he's taken these stances? Because I don't believe he's genuine for a second after he was sperging out against Harry Potter and going on about goblins being Jews with zero fucking prompting purely because the left decided they didn't like J.K Rowling anymore.
Oh and he still referenced 'grab the pussy' completely out of context, he's not changed his bullshit in the slightest. John Oliver did that for me as well with claiming Anita Sarkeesian was a harassment victim, pure cancer. That's when I completely switched off the late night show nonsense.
This is what Stewart does. Pretends he's more centerist with a few soft jabs at the libs.

remember the "rally to restore sanity"?
Yeah and how all those people now believe a man wearing a dress is a "woman".
