Jimmy Kimmel, a late-night host notorious for his seething contempt for President Donald Trump, recently stumbled onto a rare moment of clarity regarding the president.
In a Rolling Stone interview, he accurately and precisely pinpointed a key reason behind Trump’s roaring political success.
Kimmel acknowledged that cancel culture was a key issue that has fueled Trump’s rise.
“I don’t think anybody should be canceled. I really don’t,” he said, even going so far as to admit that liberals attacking comedians over jokes has driven voters to Trump.
As shocking as it is to hear that from Kimmel, it’s almost more shocking to type: He’s not wrong. Rampant cancel culture over the past decade has made people hypersensitive, with jokes — oftentimes meant to offend at least a little — becoming grounds for exile.
Trump, seemingly uncancelable, thrives in this sort of climate.
The backlash against comedians like Dave Chappelle for “offensive” humor has pushed many toward Trump’s unapologetic style. A 2024 Cato Institute study showed 62 percent of Americans fear expressing opinions due to cancellation.
Trump’s resilience against cancellation resonates with those tired of walking on eggshells. His 2024 landslide victory over Kamala Harris proved this, with America rejecting political correctness for raw authenticity.
Kimmel got this part right: The left’s obsession with policing speech has spectacularly backfired. People naturally crave freedom to laugh, speak, and offend without fear of stupidly vindictive retribution.
