    Tomorrow he’s going to complain about being “cancelled” and how he “can’t say things anymore” while talking about the event where he was invited to speak in front of a college full of students.

    You can say whatever you want, people don’t have to listen.

      Exactly. Plus the right to free speech doesn’t equate to being free from criticism, or as you said, general disinterest.

    I’m confused. By all accounts Jerry and the entire cast came together to point out their hate for Trump and Republicans. But because he doesn’t agree with one issue he’s been labeled as a right winger? I’m so far left that young leftists think I’m too extreme, to the point where they call be right wing for disagreeing with every tiny thing they say. The young left have become the keepers of “right/wrong think”

    Edit: a lot of young people who call themselves left, are doing everything possible to push people away from the left, instead of making them allies.

      It’s just the rise of loud, groupthink edgelords, refusing to think past a hyper-emotional brainwash.

      That’s how it works these days.

      I’m pro-trans, but I’m not pro-trans people in women’s sports. This makes me a anti-trans nazi in the vast majority of leftie/progressivist people’s eyes, who clearly is a closeted Trump supporter. It’s the whole ‘we must be intolerant of intertolerance’ type fo thing… but they’ve twist it to ‘we must be intolerant of any disagreement whatsoever with our unrealistic ideological agenda that has no basis in a factual reality’.

      There is no allowance for variance of reasonable opinion or an objective reality. You are with us, or against us, and therefore the enemy.

      Lefties and young folks who are left leaning tend to be as braindead and lockstep as the Trumpers they claim to hate.
