Me too.
This time period is where he was meant to be. It's his promised land.

You're failing. So you blame congess, the president, you blame Greece. But if you looked in the mirror and blamed yourself, you wouldn't like it very much.

I feel like a decent 80% of the people who want him back don't realize how fucking much he would hate them.

He got annoyingly preachy in his last 10 years or so. Like, much of his stand-up wasn't even jokes or bits, it was just a soap box.

He did lean left at the time, but I get the feeling he would join the list of comics complaining about cancel culture if he was still alive.

Correct, he hated religious nuts and the PC crowd equally.

Sure he called out radical feminists and other really far left cooks, but he also called out capitalism, Ronald Reagan, anti-abortionists, religion, toxic masculinity, and punching down on weak targets. I think he would call out any sort of extreme PC-ness that is actually bullshit, but I don't see him being one of those whiny old comics who bitch that they can't make lame, tired race/gay jokes from the 80s and 90s like the usual comedians who call out cancel culture do. I don't like anyone trying to "claim" him, but I just don't see him being one of those types.

Yeah. No doubt he would have some words for the left, but he would still absolutely hate the right today.

Honestly, he doesn't need to be, because he already blasted this era of late stage capitalism, fascism, and authoritarian police state in the 70's and 80's.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?
