Jim Jefferies' latest Netflix special "Freedumb" isn't overtly political, but he does give a few minutes to share his thoughts on Donald Trump. As expected he doesn't disappoint, savaging Trump. But beyond that he also, like all great comedians, goes deeper than into why voting for Trump is so very wrong for America.

Oh yeah, Language is NSFW....but you knew that already.

Jefferies also has a funny way of provoking ISIS itself, pronouncing the group as “is-is,” before doubling down on Donald Trump.

And I’m going to quote Jefferies on this. No apologies. Because a little piece of Jefferies enjoys the madness of Trump and wonders why not “see how crazy we can get.” And yet. And yet. Trump’s hostile reactive politics, preying on fear, only fuels the hateful terrorists on the other side. “The recruitment tool can only work if hate is bred,” Jefferies says.

“So what he’s trying to do is, he’s trying to defeat hate with hate. And hate doesn’t beat hate. It’s never f***ing beaten hate. It just makes more hate. Now this just might be the most hippie thing that ever comes out of my mouth. But it’s true. The only thing that can beat hate is love. Now, love doesn’t always beat hate. It doesn’t always beat hate. But it does do something.” And that is this: “Eventually, everyone will see them as the a**hole. Don’t be the a**hole, America.”
