His schtick is being Very Politically Incorrect and always has been. Throughout the nineties and most of the zeroes, that meant largely left wing views that resonated with a mostly left wing audience. Over the course of the Obama presidency, the left ascended to full sociopolitical dominance, and suddenly being politically incorrect was for shitlers, oh also the right wing came up with this whole idea of "political correctness" anyway to pretend they're oppressed it's a stupid concept shut up about it.
2 was faced with either changing his dynamic or changing his audience, it's pretty easy to see why he picked the audience... furries are easy, whatever their politics are. Unfortunately he thought his place in the Inner Circle was secure because of his connections, but it was really in large part because he held the "correct" opinions to pass along... if he was still getting up onstage ranting about the "proper" things, doubt anyone would have bothered ousting him from his position in the inner circle and his cushy con gigs even as his audience dwindled and his jokes grew ever more stale. After all, people with far worse reputations and rumors of much, much worse behavior have continued to be held in prominent positions in the nerd con circuit let alone the furry one, because social outcasts of any sort will turn a blind eye to almost anything for the sake to spend a weekend feeling like the "in crowd" and throwing their money at catered-to-taste merch.
