    I think they say that because he portrays himself angrily, and people on the right can really relate to that.

      “She went on ESPN and said ‘I don’t understand why female athletes don’t make as much as male athletes’ and all these men had to sit there pretending to be dumbfounded. I’m sitting at home screaming at the TV ‘BECAUSE YOU DON’T SELL ANY FUCKING TICKETS!’”

      –Bill Burr.

      Not exactly a bastion of blue haired “My pronouns are emdash/interrobang” leftism, is he?

      Reminds me a bit of George Carlin, especially in his later years. George Carlin once did a bit about groups of people he would like to see killed in various ways, to include gun enthusiasts, helicopter parents and people who made small purchases on a credit card.

        You excluded the rest where he said if woman really wanted to support them they should watch their games.

        Which is a good point. And a lot of comedy is delivery which is lost in text.

          Yeah, it boils down to criticizing feminists for being hypocritical, which would not be tolerated of a member of The Left.

          He’ll also poke The Right as much; all he’s got to do to get people thrown out of a venue in Texas is say “I love vaccines, man.”

          The dude isn’t on either side, he’s the kind of comedian who makes fun of abject bullshit, and abject bullshit is Not. Scarce. in 21st century America.

        definitely not a “bastion of blue haired “My pronouns are emdash/interrobang”” lol, but he’s right.

        rip to one of the greats as well 🙏
