Because we actually deal with our problems. Our values trump our blind allegiances. Trump has seventeen accusations of sexual assault against him. Many are recent. Contrast that with Kevin Spacey who stopped coming onto to a single individual immediately when that person said no 30 years ago, yet he still went down because the left actually addresses our problems and doesn't double down on supporting personality cults. Fox getting rid of O'Reilly took for fucking ever, and our groper in chief is still defending that douche to this day.
Weinstein and other liberals in Hollywood have been known predators for decades... it took multiple serious allegations for him to go down. The only reason all of these other liberals in Hollywood are being held accountable now is because it's easier for women to speak out and harder for companies to sweep it under the rug.
It's the same thing with Fox. Ailes went down, which made it easier for women to speak out, so O'Reilly and others at the network went down.
Trump is different because he's the leader of a personality cult. His cult members don't believe that the mainstream media is telling the truth, unless it's a good story for their cult leader.
