It feels earlier. I could swear I saw it at the tail end of the Bush years, but it might have actually been the first Obama term. The artist dumped a bunch of comics in a 2011 post on their blog, so probably at least that old.
George Carlin routines always feel relevant and fresh. The reason is he didn’t jump into specifics of Reagan or Clinton. He talked about general behaviors of government and society.
The reason his material always seems current despite him being dead for almost 2 decades is that we as a country never got our shit together and fixed the issues.
@Lost_My_Mind Go watch some old Lenny Bruce routines, and you’ll see the same. He did make specific references – and so did Carlin sometimes – but the overall thrust in both cases is timeless. Some of this material was probably being told in Ancient Greece.
