https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKO8qMJtbng this is from the 90s through the early 2000s, but I imagine you’ll find another reason to dismiss his words to pretend you know what was in his heart was different tho.
For the record, I don’t agree with his defeatist outlook, I think there’s comedians with better takes on American politics, but to pretend Carlin would be blue MAGA just because you wish him to be is ridiculous.
Exactly. Ray Bradbury was angry that Obama never did any meaningful space exploration during his terms. After Bradbury died the Right tried to depict him as a life long GOP.
Like I said, if you can’t come up with anything except a comedy act, we have nothing to discuss.
Here’s a clip from his early days, proof that he couldn’t possibly have ever changed his thoughts about anything.

Liberals will co-opt anyone who doesn’t flag a hammer and sickle flag
Which begs the question, why fly the Hammer and Sickle at all?
Politics is a game and if you want to win elections you should learn to play it.
Nixon hid his anti-Black agenda behind phrases like ‘safe streets’ and ‘the War on Drugs.’
Do you want to win elections or do you want to lose but be able to boast about how pure your intentions were?
They’ll co-opt you if you do too lmao, as long as you’re already dead. They been co-opting Tupac ffs.

Carlin was born and raised in New York City. Morningside Heights [aka ‘White Harlem’]
New York City voted 90% against Donnie.
Carlin also came out for McGovern against Nixon.
Unlike many people, Carlin could adapt and change with the times. Heck, he even did a show on Fox.
