Jimmy Kimmel discussed the rise of Donald Trump in relation to liberal attitudes towards comedy in an interview with Rolling Stone. He emphasized that the hostility directed at comedians by some liberals may have driven people to support Trump. Kimmel argued that humor and laughter are valuable, and that cancel culture in comedy is counterproductive. While he expressed disdain for Trump’s administration, asserting it lacks decency, he maintained that comedy should remain free and unimpeded by judgmental attitudes.
I think these liberals who've done such a good job of viciously attacking comedians are a big part of the reason why Trump is the president right now.
I just think human beings in general, when you see something that makes you laugh... and then somebody steps in with their arms folded... it just doesn't give you a good feeling about a person.
I don't think anybody should be canceled. I really don't.
Some days, [Trump] gives you so much that you're throwing things away that would've been the biggest event of the entire Bush presidency.
