HOW THE LEFT LOST THE CULTURE WAR

In the episode, host Clay Edwards argues that the left lost the culture war through self-inflicted wounds, primarily by censoring comedy and imposing rigid purity tests. He explains that attempts to make humor "unoffensive" alienated comedians, who responded by creating their own platforms, stripping the left of its cultural edge. Edwards describes this as "culture war suicide," where censorship, canceling, and overreach backfired, allowing conservatives to reclaim creative spaces.

 

Co-host Andrew Gasser agrees, noting the left's superior production values in media but highlighting a shift as more creatives align with conservative views. Edwards emphasizes that winning asymmetrical warfare involves regaining control of culture through uncensored expression, predicting historians will view the left's tactics as the turning point that handed victory to the right.
