I didn’t “turn on” him because I never really was for him. This is my opinion. What does Talarico have to do with Platner anyway? And how did you feel about Fetterman? A similarly theatrical character. How did that work out?
It’s funny to see the Sam Adler-Bell / John Ganz layer of left-wing urban intellectuals turn on figures like Platner and Talarico. “I don’t entirely trust him” was essentially the same vague vibes-based take Sam and Matt had on Talarico.
