It really is something, isn’t it? The Left loves purity. Absolute, unyielding purity. No deviation is ever allowed. Think you’re safe over there in their camp? Think again. Their ever-shifting standards change more often than the weather. Yesterday’s celebrated hero is today’s denounced villain. It’s a truly dizzying spectacle to behold. The woke Olympics, really.

And what happens when that frantic hunt eventually turns inward? It always does, sooner or later. History teaches us that revolutions invariably eat their own children. The woke revolution is proving to be no different. The sacred circle of the “elect” continually shrinks. Smaller. And smaller still. Soon, only a precious handful remain within its bounds. But even they are not truly safe. The insatiable mob demands constant sacrifice. It demands fresh meat for its ideological grinder. So, inevitably, they turn on each other.

Enter Chris Cillizza. Remember him? Once a familiar face on CNN. A reliable voice echoing the Left’s narratives. For years, he dutifully toed the party line. He understood the media game. Or so he thought. Now, that very game has turned its fangs on him. He discovered this truth rather unpleasantly. Not in a newsroom. Not in a debate. But at his own son’s soccer tournament. What an ordinary place for such an extraordinary political lesson.

You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide From the Mob

Cillizza’s Tesla received an unwelcome makeover. A new, aggressive adornment. Not the kind you pay for. Vandals left a particularly charming, subtle message. “Musk is a Nazi.” Yes, you read that right. That’s the sophisticated level of discourse today. Pure, unadulterated, and unhinged rage. Cillizza was, by his own account, “stunned.” He quickly took to his Substack.

There, he lamented the “politicization of every aspect of American life.” He declared it’s “making us all crazy.” A rather belated welcome to the reality, Chris. Conservatives have been sounding this alarm for years. Your side meticulously built this outrage monster. Now, it’s scratching at your own garage door. It wants in.

Today’s Virtue Signal, Tomorrow’s Scarlet Letter

This jarring incident made Cillizza ponder his car’s strange journey. A Tesla once served as a proud liberal badge. It practically screamed “enviro-liberal-wacko-communist,” his own colorful words. It was a status symbol for the enlightened. Now? In 2025? His car “symbolizes everything the left hates.” What a dizzying, 180-degree whiplash. This personal affront clearly made Cillizza think. A dangerous and often discouraged activity in some circles. He began to question the whole absurd charade of politicized possessions.

From ‘Chris Cillizza’s Substack’ (as reported by Daily Wire):

“Doesn’t that suggest that there’s an inherent ephemeralness to what an inanimate object ‘means’ in a political context? As in: If the meaning of owning a certain kind of car can change 180 degrees in the space of five years, isn’t it possible that ascribing meaning to it in the first place was misguided?”

Bingo. A direct hit. The goalposts don’t just shift on the Left’s playing field. They teleport to different dimensions. What was deemed “good” and “progressive” yesterday is suddenly “problematic” today. And it will surely be branded “fascist” by tomorrow morning. This is the inherently unstable, quicksand foundation of wokeism. It’s precisely why the Democrat party is currently flailing. Their base has become a treacherous minefield of constantly shifting loyalties and manufactured outrages.

Even Your Lunch Isn’t Safe Anymore

It’s not just expensive electric cars, Cillizza realized. Oh no. The political contamination seeps everywhere. It’s even in your chicken sandwiches. He specifically mentioned Chick-fil-A. Remember that manufactured “scandal”? Simply eating their chicken meant endorsing “HATE.” It was a grave sin. Cillizza admitted he got considerable flak for daring to patronize them. “How does HATE taste?” his enlightened audience sneered. His defense was shockingly, refreshingly simple. “I ate it because it was delicious.” Imagine that. Just enjoying food for its taste. Not for its political purity score. What a radical, almost rebellious concept for the modern Left.

The Inevitable Implosion of the Intolerant

Cillizza gravely warned this hyper-politicization is “driving us further from any sort of recognition of our common humanity.” He’s absolutely right. It’s also methodically driving the Democrat party straight into a deep, muddy ditch. You cannot build a sustainable political coalition on constant, manufactured outrage. You cannot effectively govern when your base is more interested in eating itself than in solving real problems. He also pointed out the sheer absurdity of trying to boycott everything.

So, Chris Cillizza got a taste. A taste of the Left’s modern medicine. It’s bitter, isn’t it? His shock is almost amusing. This is the world his side championed. Now, its tendrils reach for them too. This isn’t just about a vandalized Tesla. Or a controversial chicken sandwich. It’s a symptom. A symptom of the Democrat party’s sickness. An illness of its own making. Conservatives saw this coming. Common sense usually does. Perhaps a few more on the Left will wake up. Before their party completely self-destructs.

Key Takeaways:

• The radical Left’s intolerance now targets even its own former media figures.
• Everyday life has become a political minefield thanks to “woke” ideology.
• This self-destructive extremism within the Democrat party is becoming undeniable.
