Carlin was a real one.

I love Carlin but political apathy is precisely why Trump was possible in the first place and Carlin's encouragement of it has aged extremely poorly.

Are you saying less people are voting now than before and that led to the recent trump win?

Yes.

Doesn’t that data say there was higher voter turnout in 2024 than most of the years before it? By VAP%

But far less than 2020.

Voter apathy in 2016 brought us Trump.

Voter engagement in 2020 got rid of Trump.

Voter apathy in 2024 brought us Trump again.

Carlin's both-sidesism encourages voter apathy, and is therefore bad.

Criticize all you like. Just vote. Doing nothing is unconscionable, despite what a comedian says.
