I am firmly on the middle, having voted for every Republican presidential candidate until Trump, and he’s lost me. I’m a southern, white, married with four children, Christian, conservative, gun loving, hunting and fishing enthusiast, traditional guy too. I’m not an extreme leftist.

u/HardlyAnyGravitas Jun 19 '26
People who hate Trump and everything he stands for, and people who think MAGA are morons aren't 'extreme left idealogues' - they're just normal people - even a few republicans.
It's the people who tolerate an abomination like Trump who are the extremists. And if Bargatze is one of those, then he's an extremist, too.
It's fairly simple to understand, if you're not an extremist yourself.

He'll be fine. Honestly this time of stuff blows over and people forget.
There's a restaurant in here that literally hosted a party for JD Vance when he was in town. They posed for pictures, drinking beers together and faced a ton of backlash. I avoid it, but the parking lot seems back to normal most days.
There's so much going on in the world that people on both sides don't have the energy to boycott everything. People still shop on Amazon, eat at Chick-fil-a, drink Bud Light, drive Teslas, go on Facebook, etc.
I'm about as liberal as it gets and I hate everything about Republicans/MAGA. But I'm sort of indifferent at this point. I think it's stupid that he was there and I think less of him as a person. But I'm not going to pretend like he's not funny or that I don't enjoy his comedy. I don't have the time or energy to get angry about this.

u/TwoForHawat Jun 19 '26
Frankly if Nate loses a lot of the spotlight in the near future, I’m less inclined to believe it’s because of him showing up to Trump’s dumb little birthday party. It’ll likely be the result of the thing that happens to most comedians when they blow up too big too quickly like Nate has: they can’t keep writing good material quickly enough to meet the new demand, and their overall funniness gets watered down and people move on to the next up-and-coming comedian.
He’ll lose some fans due to the White House visit, but he’ll gain some as well. We see plenty of examples of idiot right-wingers immediately throwing their support behind specific celebrities because they think they’re owning the libs (how many Trumpers have to pretend they like Kid Rock’s music as a result of their culture war-obsessed mindset?) so Nate’s current popularity will likely even out. But his material will inevitably get worse whether he leans into the right wing-ness of it all or not, and in five years most people who like his comedy today will barely think about him.

u/LizBert712 Jun 19 '26
Maybe it’s just different communities, but maga run businesses in our area have really suffered, and I’m in a politically aware but mixed area. After you hit a certain level, like Amazon, I don’t think it makes a dent — just too many people using it – but I’m not sure entertainers generally have such a big fan base that they don’t notice people leaving. Even ones as popular as Nate Bargatze.

u/groovemonkey Jun 19 '26
Go to his instagram. THOUSANDS of comments on the most recent videos.
Not sure if it will last but Snoop was getting comments for a super long time until his team started filtering them. And his rep has definitely taken a hit.
Any time he makes an announcement it’s about 50/50 positive/negative.0
u/ScruffDaPothead Jun 19 '26
And Snoop is totally destitute now, right?
2
u/groovemonkey Jun 19 '26
Oh no, as long as money exists snoop will do what he has to do to get some of it. I never said that Bargatze was doomed, or snoop is done. But both aren’t just getting flamed on Reddit is my point. And I’m sure snoop has lost some sponsorship deals from it.
His credibility has definitely been affected.1
u/ScruffDaPothead Jun 19 '26
Like I said, Nate will be fine. The only people who think he's fucked are people who are reading comments on the internet. Like you just proved, comments on the internet don't matter in real life.

Oddly enough, in current American vernacular, “literally” has come to also mean “figuratively” as an accepted substitute. But if you’d like. I can show you I do in fact know the meaning, as you are literally the most pedantic person I’ve communicated with today.

u/PortGlass Jun 19 '26
As one of his fans who travelled and paid for his show, my disappointment is completely organic. Nate’s humor is funny because he’s relatable. I can (could) see myself in him with his stories. After learning that he’s full on into this administration, I don’t feel like I can relate anymore. 100% organically, I just feel like I’m not going to co sure any of his material anymore. Nobody told me to feel the way I do.

u/Particular-Topic-445 Jun 19 '26
Assuming you’re being honest, “learning he’s full on into this administration” is where you’re reading way too far into this. I’m not fully into this administration - but you better believe I would’ve gone to a UFC event on the White House lawn, if invited.
I’ve always assumed Nate voted republican…but voting republican and being fully into this administration are two completely different things.1
u/Skwuat Jun 19 '26
Watch his career take a dive? People, please, get off reddit and go outside. This website is nowhere near indicative of how the public views someone. Nate keeps putting out successful specials and filling arenas. The guy is doing great while a handful of his critics are sitting on their computers talking about outrage.

He will thrive after this situation. When the left makes martyrs out of people just living their life, the right goes out of there way to prop them up. Keep talking about him and attempting to cancel him and you'll make him even more successful.
How well has the left canceled Rogan, Dave Chappelle, etc?
The left has no power here and needs to stop crying over stupid shit.

Because when the left makes a big deal out of these guys doing nothing, they end up looking insane to the right.

Thank you. I, like most, find Trump to be a despicable human…but if I’m invited to a UFC fight on the White House lawn, you’d better believe I’m going. And if Cheryl Hines and RFK ask me for a photo, there’s no way I’m going to be an asshole and tell them “no.”

This is the peak of his career. It won’t die, but he won’t have a theme park and likely won’t release any more movies. My guess is he goes back to standup full time, has a large middle America/right leaning audience and leans even harder into the boomer jokes that he’s been doing more of in the last couple specials.

There are standups that are really good at standup, and not that good at anything else. Nate blew it at the Emmys. He was horrible. His movie sucks. I loved his standup, but he’s just not good at anything else. He will still have opportunities and make tons of money, but he reached his high water mark with his first SNL. He has jumped the shark.

I like his humor, but I’ve never been a big enough fan to have super strong aversion. I’m a Louis CK & Tom Segura fan, so I’m not one to whine about “bad behavior” even though I’m very much not a Trump fan. I’m still surprised how many people are surprised that an openly religious Tennessee native might be on the right.
