I like Andrew Sullivan, and I did enjoy this immensely, but at times I feel that his self-assigned label of conservative is a bit of a stretch. A conservative who's voted left for the past 30 years? Is it possible that he's turned progressive? I wonder if it's possible that he's merely trying to reach out across the aisle and pull right-leaning individuals towards the centre. Which is fine -- and perhaps admirable -- but the 'I'm a conservative so think like me' act may be more of a rhetorical technique than any real description of his actual political allegiances.
This is a fair question, but I do think his Catholicism is what he'd point to, to confirm his conservative social values. He did some great 2 hour + long sit downs with Christopher Hitchens on the CSPAN show Washington Journal. Happened in the other 2000's and are super informative of his values which he still holds now.
Poor Andrew, thinking that trying to act butch is the same thing as being conservative. Read Trump's tweets from Jan. 6th. Hear his speech. Be willing to open your eyes.
Go Trump!
Fascist
Go to hell where hes from🤣🤢❓❗
Can't take Sullivan seriously when he uses "insurrection" to describe the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Why?
Yes! It should be properly called an “armed insurrection”.

Andrew Sullivan is Kier Starmer's school friend... let that sink in...
Policies not personalities.
An utterly deluded individual.
Wat about crazy righty
Rare and insightful
Always great to hear Andrew nail it. I'm listening to this on July 7, the day Boris resigned. "Boris is too lazy and doesn't really believe anything."
I feel this guy is all over the place. He is the confused of the confused.
This guy is hard of thinking.

Biden is not far left
No, he's just far gone.
Anything far-left that Biden has done (border security), isn’t anything the far-left has even asked for. Far-left just wants populist policies.
He's not even left!
Truth. From the rights perspective hes a socialist like anybody who is not a MAGA thinker.
He's center right at best and has been that way his whole career.
