Tim Miller: Right-Wing Comedians Are Skeptical of the Trump Admin and Refuse To Be ‘Mouthpieces’ Like a Charlie Kirk

RUSH EXCERPT:
MILLER: "Yeah, well, I think there are two parts of this. One is can it give other people the backbone to get to speak out? And that’s like the most frustrating part about all of this is you would think that south park would be showing the way that like, there’s not the risk here that all of these people say there is, that you can speak out against Trump, especially if you come from a place of power and privilege. I think that’s the most frustrating thing about watching all these tech execs go there and slobber over him yesterday, as if, you know, the richest people in the history of the world could not survive and keep their dignity intact, you know, at the same time. But hopefully I don’t. I’m not, you know, counting our chickens on that. To me, I think the political implication that is maybe more powerful, which is true especially of south park, is you’re seeing this trickle down into other more kind of comedians that appeal more to people on the MAGA right, particularly the kind of manosphere type comedians I’m thinking of Tim Dillon in particular, and Andrew Schultz, I don’t your viewers might not be familiar with them, or they might, but I’ve been watching a lot of their shows lately, and they are pretty. They’re starting to get pretty skeptical of this administration, and they want to be outsiders. They don’t you know, comedians don’t want to be talking heads and mouthpieces for the administration like a Charlie Kirk might. They you know, they want to be contrarian. And Trump’s given a lot to work with, whether it be, you know, the military stuff or whether it be, you know, there’s a lot of funny material out there about jd Vance. I’ve been watching and and Peter Thiel and his four speeches on the antichrist he’s giving recently coming up and, and how maybe we should be a little bit concerned if one of the most influential people in MAGA is giving four speeches on the antichrist in the next, in the next month. So I think that, like the south park and the Tim Dillon’s, you know, starting to poke fun at these guys, I think could have a real political impact because it might pop the bubble of invincibility that Trump has had with some part of his base."
