I'm having a hard time believing, what I'm hearing ...Sean Penn, is curiously denouncing all the woke activities, that his brand of Leftism, produced. He and Maher, are seemingly drunk, rambling like two old guys getting ready to yell at the moon. Keep in mind Penn had no issues hanging out with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Raul Castro.

Eventually the mob comes for everyone. The mob moves further to the extremes, so the more moderate radicals who were in earlier start to see the consequences of their beliefs, but it is too late.
My son told me when he was in college (about 6 years ago) that the danger was not being a conservative on campus, but in not being liberal enough. The radicals become ever more radical, and are never satisfied.

Indeed, they are coming to the realization that those who they allied and agitated with, are continuing well beyond their position; incite & play with a mob, don't be surprised when they come for you. We hate converatives so much, anything thrown at them is a good thing So, now the spawn of all that unbridled hate has, besides getting it's hooks into useful idiots, is now involved with gov and corporations ....wonder how that happened?
The next progression to their epiphany, is if they'll realize that their positions, commentary and activities prior, are the cause of the upheaval that they now are aghast at? One my close friends is an admitted former hippy, lived the good life in college in the 70's but, as soon as he hit the 'real world' and started 'adulting', his world-view changed. Now he's a firearms instructor, looking to convert those non-believers behind enemy lines.

Their grand version of communism is coming for them, too.
This is absolutely right. They've only changed because it now affects them directly, especially in their wallets. If they didn't see the logical outcome to the madness they were advocating in the beginning, then perhaps they're just not as smart as they think they are.

My memory is not short. These two dipshits have been on a woke commie rampage for years, especially during the Trump presidency, and now that the street urchins have turned against THEM (just a little bit), they are all of a sudden somewhat rational, somewhat clear thinking citizens for a moment?
Penn can go to Syria and hang out with that bitch that wants to become a US citizen again.
