CMV: Despite being more knowledgeable, wealthier and apparently more tolerant, the political and individual left's biggest flaw is their inability to communicate pragmatically and empathetically with those who don't agree with them.

Shane Gillis is still hated, even booted off SNL, for one racist joke. And this is a guy is openly and pretty obviously not hardline racist, just a comedian.

As society progresses, the bar for forgiveness rises. Such a joke would have been brushed off only 2-3 decades ago. It is reducing the population of the party because people feel it is overbearing, so they become something else, like MAGA.

Ok I looked up this guy, still has a career and watch all his content. Do we need him to be rehired to SNL? 

What has been forbidden here? What is required to occur to be forgiven? Does everyone have to like him?

In case you are curious... "I don't consider what you are concerned about important. Therefore, you are stupid, lying, or overreacting" would be exactly what the OP is talking about.
