They may be having their Jerry Maguire speech moment right now. But remember he was applauded initially but fired the next day.

In the US, the MeToo Democrats/left side of the spectrum shot themselves (and, in a very real way, the world) in the foot by essentially forcing Al Franken out of politics for a tasteless but harmless one-off prank involving pretending to fondle a sleeping acting colleague's boobs while on an army jet to their next show as part of a tour for US military forces. It happened years ago, and he otherwise has no record of harassing people, but the purity police deemed him expendable, so he had to go.
I'm no Christian, but in our otherwise salutary march toward secularism it seems we've forgotten some of the important Biblical parables about being sinless and casting stones. And meanwhile, the current White House bunker occupant, a childish, lying, sexist, sexually-harassing, fraud-committing, nasty, evil asshole with no redeeming qualities that I can think of, sallies forth with nary a twinge of conscience.
Franken would have made a good president. Hell, in the year 2020
anybody with a fucking pulse would make a better president than the current orange douchebag in chief.
So yeah, the mass hysteria has real world consequences.
