Matthew McConaughey Keeps Flirting With Alt-Right Darlings
www.thedailybeast.com
The “Dallas Buyers Club” actor, who’s been promoting his book “Greenlights,” most recently appeared on men’s rights activist Jordan Peterson’s podcast this week.

McConaughey told hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, “We need liberals. What I don’t think we need is illiberals. What I don’t think some liberals see is they’re being cannibalized by the illiberals. There are extremes on both sides that I think are unfair… the extreme left and extreme right completely illegitimize (sic) the other side. They exaggerate the other side’s stance into an irrational state that makes no sense. That’s not fair.”

    Ya, I was hoping his recent press tour was just some centrist posturing to woo some conservative Texans. Unfortunately it seems like he's just a decorum lib that's too dense to see the alt-right playbook for what it really is.

        That's def the biggest fear, that he could be the 'competent' leader that uses centrism to maintain and extend hell world in ways that Don could never achieve.
