I think it's just anger about being out of touch. You can't make comedy in a vacuum, it necessarily draws on contemporary culture, and Jerry's probably feeling a bit left in the dust. But he frames it in a way where he feels victimized. That's my reading for most embarrassing or offensive old comedians though, so maybe I'm painting with too broad a brush.

That's because Larry David was the primary writer on Seinfeld.

ignoring the… youthfulness… issues

What a fucking euphemism lol for fucks sake

I wouldn't be surprised if all his backlash is because he's a fucking pervert

OP mentioned 3 prominent Democrats as examples of right-wingers. You can have opinions that aren't lock-step with whatever the current hot button issues are without being a right-winger. Democrats are supposed to be the more independently thinking party, but we're seeing a hell of a lot of tribalism these days from both parties. It's honestly pretty disturbing.

He didn't do anything in his comedy shows no. Comedians in cars with coffee got pretty right slanted pretty fuckin quick.

He just decided to bust out with I’m a victim too stop censoring me?

He probably finally realized that people don't find him funny and wanted to have his name int the news again.

Have you seen any of his recent stand up?

I think you mean left field just fyi

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.

Dennis Miller has been part of the Fox News hosting and commentary family for a long time now.

I seem to remember Maher seeming more leftist at some point, but that might be because of his unabashed atheism. He's always been insufferably arrogant though.

Can’t tell you the exact year but DM became a right wing pundit some years back

Eeeeeh, Chappelle's views on trans people are pretty fucked up.
