I’m not up to date on the meta. Why was he evil?
I didn’t realize he had died and saw a few posts about how weird and self-serving he was, on top of the racism. 3 years ago a bunch of papers dropped Dilbert over him going on a racist rant.
He also questioned the Holocaust and a bunch of other wildly weird shit.

Long before this, he made sock puppet accounts online and posed as his own superfan to pump his own shit up. And was quickly found out.

His Twitter account says a lot, and Elon defended his 2023 racist rant if that also says anything. Apparently also a Truth Social account as well.

So it’s not just about political leanings, it’s the ego, racism, and being a shitbag and troll online. Typical thin-skinned Conservative on the internet, ultimately. And hey, I don’t know what it’s like to be a public figure (thank the gods), but I certainly wouldn’t have so much ego and so little self-awareness as to go on reddit pretending to be someone else and talking myself up. His descent should be a warning to any of us with parents or grandparents his age.
On top of everything else, I think he was the “Trump is actually playing 4D chess” guy. Insane how he made a comic about how the elites are stupid and selfish parasites only to completely jerk them off at every opportunity.
Outspoken pro Trump and what many people would call “right wing”. For me that term is too nice though.
Oh, he died?
Good. Hope it hurt on the way out, too.
Well, it was cancer, so certainly unpleasant, but depending on the meds he was given, possibly relatively painless.
I also enjoy how entirely human and not at all like wax figures the trumpet and the couch connoisseur look. Someone generated that picture and thought to themselves, yep, that’s how humans look, no doubt about it.
