Dave Rubin Is Being Rejected By His Own Audience

Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report, just lately introduced that he and his companion expect two kids, through surrogacy.

On Twitter, the responses to Rubin’s announcement proved putting, along with his personal followers expressing discomfort, and even disgust, on the considered two homosexual males beginning a household.

How did Rubin get to the purpose the place his supposed allies proudly reject his very existence?

Effectively, Rubin has been cultivating an illiberal viewers for a number of years, along with his discuss present The Rubin Report functioning as a soft platform for hate-mongers like Stefan Molyneux and Milo Yiannopoulos, a secure area the place all of the questions are softballs. In accordance with Rubin, his present is “a hub for misunderstood or canceled individuals or to-be-canceled individuals to precise themselves truthfully.”

Rubin has previously compared progressivism to a “psychological dysfunction,” and thru his discuss present, makes an attempt to push the concept leftists and liberals are the true bigots, and that conservatives are extra accepting of dissent. Nevertheless, Rubin has struggled to show this notion, hindered by his personal viewers’s refusal to just accept his sexuality.

Rubin, a homosexual man in a socially conservative area, has by no means been been totally accepted by a vocal section of his viewers, and even his friends and supposed “mates.” That is underlined by an infamous conversation Rubin shared with fellow tradition warrior Ben Shapiro, through which Shapiro flatly refuses an invitation to Rubin’s anniversary social gathering, citing Rubin’s sexuality as the rationale he wouldn’t attend. Rubin passively accepts Shapiro’s intolerance as an inexpensive response, calling his response ”fascinating.”

Rubin’s household announcement, nevertheless, has pushed the discuss present host to a brand new low, as his latest interview with Glenn Beck appeared an try to win the approval of homophobes and bigots.

The humiliating interview sees Beck, in a twisted try to indicate compassion, evaluating Rubin’s sexual orientation to alcoholism – Rubin silently accepts the comparability, and remarkably, makes an attempt in charge “the left” for his personal viewers’s unfavorable response.

Rubin means that the fixed difficult of social norms by progressives has pushed “good, respectable, considerate conservatives” right into a state of uncertainty, sparking the hateful response to his announcement.

The left may need gained a popularity for “consuming its personal,” continually engulfed in self-defeating tradition wars, however Rubin’s announcement appears to have drawn a line within the sand for the proper. Whereas extra open-minded conservatives like Megyn Kelly and Meghan McCain had been comfortable to want Rubin congratulations, different right-wing tradition warriors remained conspicuously silent; notably, Ben Shapiro has not publicly congratulated Rubin.

Rubin’s grovelling try to placate homophobes (who by some means, nonetheless exist in 2022), marks an fascinating turning level within the tradition struggle. Has the proper reached some extent of no return, the place even their loudest cheerleaders will likely be rejected for not conforming to heterosexual norms?

For Rubin, sadly, the bigoted backlash simply seems to be like enterprise as standard.
