    He uses very high quality psychological tactics. From what I've seen:

    1. He tries to make you think he agrees with your positions, to get you to open up.
    2. He often plays a foreign, clumsy-English speaking simpleton to elicit sympathy from others, which leads people to do things to agree with him, in order to prevent them from looking like they're rude to this "simpleton".
    3. He gets people to agree to fairly moderate positions, and then gets them more and more extreme.
    4. He really gets into it once the agreement begins, egging you on by getting excited and laughing at times. This leads the other person to continue down the road.

    ...and then of course the fact that he has a big budget to this lends credibility to his efforts, through nice hotels, car services, professional camera crews, etc.

    None of these apply to the mosque clip but good attempt at trying to defend your like-minded peers.

    His pranks on the Liberal is light compared to what he did to the conservatives from the clips that i have seen.

    Ahahahahaha.

    Another brilliant episode.

    That kale-deficient Trumpanzee seriously wore panties with fake lady-parts. Amazing.

    SBC even up got @bigtexxx in his feelings.

    LEGEN-DARY.

    Maybe when it comes to their politicians , but it's hard for me to believe that he cant pull off thesame bit that he did with the mosque from the people on the left if he really wanted to.

    I’m hoping to see more skits that get the left like he’s pranked the right. I think it’s best for the show to see the stupidity on both sides

    doubtful. the anti-muslim bias seems to come entirely from the right and specifically, from trump supporters. that being said, how do we know those people are all "conservatives"?

    hatred and gullibility seem to go hand in hand and this group was so blinded by their hatred of muslims (and clintons) that they couldnt see what was really going on. thats on them...not cohen or "the liberal".

    You're delusional. If he tried that stunt in the 3rd ward in Houston, I doubt he'd be warmly received.

    3rd ward is full of rich white yuppies and old black women now. I think Sasha would get a decent welcoming.
