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.

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.
