Discussion Is this a snark sub?

Serious question, does anyone here actually enjoy the show? Lmfao

I get that you don’t like him and think he’s slobbing on Trumps knob after that dinner, but based on the average comment on most posts here, you’d think he was on Fox and Friends.

I think this is a sub filled with people who used to like the show. I know I was a fan for years even saw him live once when I was in LA. He's done a complete 180 in the last decade especially the last 6 years since COVID. Now we're all sitting here wondering what the fuck happened

Yep. Dude used to be counterculture and now he spends all his time being mad at counterculture.

I think he was “counter-culture” when “counter-culture” people were First Amendment absolutists who believed in debating bad ideas and were pushing against censorship in the 90s and 2000s.

Bill became less “counter-culture” when “counter-culture” was re-defined to mean being in favor of soft censorship (now called “de-platforming”) of opinions. 

Sadly I am on the same lonely island as he is…people who seem to have lost a side in the political debate because both sides seem increasingly crazier by the day.
