Dan wouldn't last 10 minutes defending an episode with level of shitte on his forum back around 2012 or so. Neither would any fanbois.
No kidding.
There was nearly malicious tone in his voice for his fellow Americans.
See, I think Dan always counted himself among the flag wavers in the country. Trump's election was a hard wake-up call for him that he wasn't who he thought he was, so he ran to the other camp, and now counts himself among their number because they're the True Patriots. He's adopting their methodology with regards to dealing with people they disagree with.
I think we all forget that Dan was a radio guy, and was basically an Erick Erickson-tier host. He is interested in history, can read long books, and got in on the podcasting thing early. Those are the keys to why he was successful. He doesn't add that much to the discourse anymore. He basically set the foundation for my current view on history/politics, but once you figure out his shtick, you can reproduce it yourself.
