Milo, Charlottesville, and the Left's Cancel Culture Problem

• 25:03Tim disagrees with how the left handles opposition figures, arguing they've taken a blanket stance to push people completely out of public debate.
• 25:38Republicans are better at playing dirty than Democrats and more effective at it.
• 26:12The left controls Hollywood and large parts of media, which allows them to shape culture and attack the right through those channels.
• 26:58Conservative people with rational temperaments don't typically seek positions in the arts, while people drawn to those jobs tend to be higher in empathy and lean left.
• 27:38Since Trump's election, an us-versus-them mentality has become the organizing principle of the left, with angry Twitter mobs canceling people for one wrong opinion.
• 28:16Tim argues the cancel culture mob backfired and drove people to support Trump because they don't want to feel one word away from being excommunicated.
• 28:43Social media vigilantes trying to ruin people's lives and get them fired actually lends credence to the idea that these people are an aggrieved party.
• 29:14Rather than cancel figures, the left should challenge and debate them to illustrate why their ideas are toxic.
