He disliked hypocrisy, didn't matter if you were conservative or not. That's why he's a legend, he called out both sides on their bullshit and was largely right.

"It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." That's a straight down the middle call for everyone to wake the hell up.

I’d be interested to see where Carlin would fall nowadays if he was still alive. He had a severe case of Bush Derangement Syndrome, so would he be on the “orange man bad” train? But he was also highly critical of politically correct language, thought policing and the protocol-SJW movement in the 90s - 00s, so would he be on the side of the right in the culture war? Would he have gotten ‘canceled’ for some of his old material (“Rape Can Be Funny”, his “every ethnic slur ever” monologue, etc)? Or would he be on Twitter apologizing for said routines?

Of course he would have TDS.

Hating the Bush family is no vice.

I’m not a fan of them either, but the Left didn’t even have good reasons for hating them. It was just the same “OMG Bush is a retarded evil sexist homophobic bigot racist retard” stuff they’ve done for the past four years with Trump.
