    Actor/Comedian Bill Burr. I always found his comedy to be a “gateway drug” to right wing radicalization.

      I felt the same until I heard him speak for extended periods. My wife LOVES him and convinced me to give him a second chance; I think you should too. He has the affect of being a rightwing dipshit, but if you give him a chance, you will find this is not the case.

      I disagree with many of his views, but I definitely wouldn’t call him right-wing. He seems to me more like a libertarian from before “don’t tread on me” actually meant “please tread on me.” Hell, he’s said the CEO of Nestle should be shot.

        He also downplayed the risk of electing Trump (first time around) with a “what’s the worst that could happen” attitude. I also can’t stand his misogynist attitude towards women “what could Michelle Obama teach us? How to tell if a dick smells presidential?”

        To me that’s an attitude catering directly to the alt-right, incel crowd.

      He is definitely not right wing. He’s speaking up against that shit very loudly these days

      Not a right winger though. I hope he’s a gateway drug for right wingers to some actual human empathy
