are often too busy doing that kind of stuff to make any money and tend to favour a status ladder in which cleverness about arty things counts for more and money counts for less
this usually counts as being left/liberal although whether it should is a different matter

Frank Miller used to be like this, but I'm pretty sure most of his leftist fans have abandoned him by now.

That reminds me - I'd like to reread those Martha Washington books again at some point. What was the deal with those?

Jorge Luis Borges is one that immediately comes to mind, though his politics mostly aren't evident in his writing. I can't imagine most conservatives have read him, let alone heard of him.

The above stuff about Lynch from 2006 is very interesting in the light of 2020, particularly the stuff equating "family values" with conservatism. Though cons always paid lip-service to such values, I can think of few things more corrosive to family values than capitalism.

shows how the perception right and left has changed so significantly the last 10 years ( also to the point where I'm wondering whether Bill Hicks isn't creeping closer to a valid answer here)

Bill Hicks would have been a Berniebro.

Norm Macdonald seems to be the most obvious answer to this thread right now

Lynch is so into families that he's had four of them
(and started at least two of those by cheating on then ghosting a previous partner or wife aiui)

Damn, I didn't know that. X reference with the "separating the art from the artist" thread.

I'd suggest H.L. Mencken, even though his politics were all over the place by today's definitions. "At heart" he seems conservative.

Nah he’d be a corona truther.
I don't know how the guy who talked like this gets lumped into the reactionary bin -" Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."
