Stephen Colbert’s cancellation of ‘The Late Show’ has drawn attention to the diminishing relevance of his long-held persona as a satirical Republican and the broader irrelevance of the Never-Trump movement in today’s political landscape. For over two decades, Colbert has played the role of a pre-Trump Republican, a character that once had significant cultural resonance. However, the political landscape has dramatically shifted since his rise to prominence, leaving Colbert’s character and associated political stance increasingly obsolete. This reflects a broader trend where the Never-Trump narrative, once a major force in political commentary, has lost its significance amidst the continued presence of Donald Trump in power.
