He's overall pretty moderate in his views, and correct for the most part, with a few glaring exceptions like the anti-vax shit (and even that list is overblown, like... even if genetically modified food is no big deal, WTF is the problem w/ putting that on the label?).
But horseshoe theory is real, and he pisses off the most rabid extremists on both the far left and far right, so the amount of hate he gets online gets magnified a lot.
It's unfortunate, but the amount of unhinged illogical bashing from both sides basically just confirms he's overall pretty reasonable.
Also, being smug/snarky is part of his act (whether it's his actual real life personality or just act, he obviously is playing it up as his "character"), so that just makes any position he has that you disagree with feel more grating.
