    Dude, I love these edits, they really capture the breathless Nancy Grace horror of conservatism. Isn’t this the same guy that made the edit of Jewish police vaccinating a kid at a roadside checkpoint?

      There’s something about Dee’s you don’t typically see from conservatives, and that’s some semblance of principles. Dees isn’t a dishonest man, people who worked with him when he was younger say they believe he had untreated psychosis. For all his weird bigotry, he was protesting with Black Lives Matter because he was actually consistent with his anti-state beliefs. He was anti-vax, but the last comic he made before dying was about how the push to reopen after COVID was going to kill millions for a few bucks.

      I’m not defending his politics whatsoever, his comics are anti-semitic and ever form of bigoted under the sun. But there’s a sincerity within it that makes it say more than it’s trying to. Dees communicates the absurd fear of American conservatives concisely
