That's not a view that I've ever heard him express, but I haven't heard much from him in years. He used to be outspoken about global warming, and the environment. He was the first celebrity to buy an electric car all the way back in like 1996, I think it was called the Honda Insight. He was pro-gay rights, pro-women's rights, and a lot of other issues you'd consider Democrat. But he also mocked PC culture, and even had a show called Politically Incorrect. Last time I heard about him he seemed pretty much like the same person, but society has changed. I guess if you retain your same "progressive" views from 30 years ago, and social views change and progress, then you're kind of "conserving" old views, even though you weren't a conservative at one point. That's probably why people appear to become more conservative as they get older. They haven't actually changed, they just stopped agreeing with the direction of progress.
Oh I was just guessing that was the case, you seem way more informed than me here though
