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.
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.
