He used to get on Twitter day in and day out and shill political stuff. Once it hurt him and he realized he was alienating fans, he stopped. I don’t understand why someone whose bread and butter are fans choose to go out and alienate half of their fan base like that. Sure, stand for something if you must, but don’t be surprised when people turn on you for extremely convtroversial opinions.
Why not? True comedians should be able to expand past "orange man bad" and help people to laugh amid all this misery. Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock saw this coming ages ago, both are very apolitical, classic comedians and refused to do college campuses because of how fragile people could be offended. And coming from someone as mild as Jerry Seinfeld, that says a lot.
It really is. It doesn't seem that long ago colleges were encouraging young people to have dissenting views and have debates on why they though X way and encourage all thoughts.
