Yep, the Dems are evil for not enforcing their laws. And neither Bush nor Trump nor the Republicans --the party of "family values" --complained about it then, nor did anything about it. The joke is that it's always the other guy's fault.
Dems also put in clean air and water rules that the current administration changed because they think those rules are changed.
Funny? Stanhope sounds almost nihilistic to me in that clip. He's barely even making jokes, instead just attacking any concepts of group identity, such as nationalism, with contempt for anything but individualism, and with a pretense to compassion that seems contraindicated by the tone of his voice. I really can't imagine him giving a cigarette to anyone he thought disagreed with him.

Yep, it was really funny especially in regard to the Proud Boys. It's typical that they're proud of things they didn't do. And, it's especially funny when he says he'd be ashamed to say that a barefoot immigrant, who can't speak English, is more qualified for your job than you are.
Hey, if I said that I'm something because the Egyptians built pyramids, you'd smile too. Just as I smile when people talk about who "built" the country --after their parents arrived in 1947.
At any rate, you can dislike the guy; but, that's just a tactic to disprove the truth of his argument. And afa the Antifa guy getting hit by the ?Proud Boy twice his size, I never saw how that was funny. Well, in fact, I had no idea of what was happening except for the banner on the video. That's why I looked up Proud Boys. Before that, I just saw a guy clock another guy. If there were no captions, I wouldn't say that was funny.
Otoh, I might laugh if I saw someone get knocked out; but, I'd be ashamed. Though, I could see an Antifa activist laugh if they saw a "fa" get knocked on his ass. People enjoy seeing the craziest things, especially when it happens to someone they dislike, and not to themselves.
