I couldn’t even watch that full clip. Talk about a fall from grace. I watched him on the Daily Show as well back in the day but I’ve lost all respect for Stewart. I’d say I have classic liberal & conservative beliefs but the Overton Window has shifted so far that I’m probably considered “far-right” by todays standards. Peoples politics evolve over time organically but the issue is with celebrities & others like him is it’s plastic. They’ve gone along to get along and to shift so radically into Cultural Marxism is a desperate attempt to stay relevant within the liberal (illiberal really) space. They’ve discarded ethics, morals & values for money, acceptance and notoriety. The Neo-Left isn’t sympathetic or empathetic, they don’t care about equality, they don’t care about free speech or the constitution for that matter. What they want is an authoritarian one party system with a monopoly on information.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

I thought maybe Stewart was about to go rogue after his Wuhan questions on Colbert's show a while back. I guess the woke Luca Brasi got to him after all! But Sullivan is not blameless here. I *loathe* how he has refused to see the broad populist MAGA movement as anything but a threat. That was intellectual snobbery at its finest. He still clings to the illusion that the liberal left is the good guy, the smart guy, the grown up. This failure is catastrophic because it destroys all of his credibility. Ditto Sam Harris. Neither has had the balls to question the shibboleths of their base, but that won't save them from the woke mafia.
