They've certainly killed right-leaning comedians like Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Dennis Miller and (can't believe he made the list) Dave Chappelle.

Or maybe they killed themselves by just getting even lamer with their unfunny jokes that punch down at marginalized groups. ๐Ÿค”

Since when is Dennis Miller a right winger? Bill Maher has always been a vocal member of the Democratic party.

Both seemed to have turned recently. Both of them in recent stand up specials they've released since 2019 have said, on stage, they are Republicans and expressed views consistent with that in their routines. It was a shock to me, considering I remember them being very anti-conservative back in the 90's.

Seems like people just age into being conservative.
