One of the hallmarks of conservative thinking is the acknowledgement that politics isn’t everything. Some things transcend – or should transcend – that earthbound, combative cesspit: God, family, and country, to name three. Of course, politics necessarily comes into play in the ways we approach and engage with those transcendent things. But conservatives by and large are able to keep politics compartmentalized in our daily lives.
The Left however, which believes “the personal is the political” (and vice versa), has made an idol of social justice activism and has made politics inescapable; everything from sports to bathrooms to Thanksgiving has been turned into a political battleground. Family relationships aren’t off-limits either.
Molly McNearney is the head writer and executive producer of the faltering late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live. She also happens to be the wife of host Jimmy Kimmel, who over the years has helped turn late-night TV into a megaphone for divisive, anti-Trump propaganda instead of light entertainment for all Americans. Recently he postured as a martyr for free speech by claiming Donald Trump tried to censor him for the ugly falsehoods Kimmel spews almost nightly about the President and other conservatives.
McNearney appeared on a recent episode of the We Can Do Hard Things podcast where she demonstrated that Democrats firmly believe politics is thicker than blood. In her case, as with many, many of her ilk, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has led to the intolerant rejection of family members who do not share her progressive worldview.
She admitted as much on the podcast, stating, for example, that she badgered family members prior to the 2024 election, pressuring them to vote for her candidate – the corrupt, hate-mongering, mentally decrepit incumbent Joe Biden.
“I’ve sent many emails to my family, like right before the election, saying, ‘I’m begging you,” she said on the podcast. “‘Here’s the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don’t.’ And I either got ignored by 90% of them or got truly insane response from a few.”
By “truly insane responses,” what she probably meant is that some family members chose to push back against her hectoring with their own reasons for voting for Trump. And obviously, for obsessive Democrats like McNearney, anyone voting for Trump clearly could only be “truly insane.”
“It hurts me so much,” she continued in her grating, Kardashian-style vocal fry, “because of the personal relationships I now have, where my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family,” she explained bizarrely, as if friends and family members should be voting not for the man they believe will be best for the country but for the man who will be best for Jimmy and Molly Kimmel. “And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it,” she added.
What did she expect? Adults like to make their own informed decisions about their political choices. They don’t like to be lectured by privileged elites like the Kimmels, and treated like they are, as McNearney condescendingly put it, “being deliberately misinformed, every day, and they believe it.”
It doesn’t seem to occur to her that Americans are being deliberately misinformed, every day, but by the Left-dominated mainstream media, which includes the Kimmels themselves.
She went on to say during the podcast that she is “in constant conflict and I’m angry all the time” at her family. You know what would resolve that, Mrs. Kimmel? Quit causing the conflict and quit letting politics get between you and your loved ones. There is more to life and more to talk about than politics (unless you’re a Democrat), so make the loving effort to find some other ways to relate to your family members that do not involve treating them like benighted bigots.
But no. Molly McNearney admits she personalizes everything, so when the news upsets her, she immediately gets mad at the aunts, uncles, and cousins who helped put the Trump administration in power. Then, on the podcast, she made a revealing admission: “I wish I could deprogram myself in some way.”
Mrs. Kimmel unwittingly hit upon both the problem – that her wokeness and TDS have been programmed into her because she lives and works in Hollywood, the most conformist of all Left-wing bubbles – and the solution – that she could get rid of her anger and heal her family rift by freeing herself of that Left-wing brainwashing. But embracing that solution is a bridge too far for celebrity elites.
“It’s definitely caused a strain,” she continued as the register of her buzzsaw-like voice sank deeper than her husband’s. “I’ve definitely pulled in closer with the family that I feel more aligned with, and I hate that this has happened, you know, it feels silly, you know, part of me goes, ‘Don’t let politics get in the way.’ But to me this isn’t politics. It’s, it’s truly values and we just, we’re not aligned anymore,” she said.
She’s right about one thing, at least: the fact that there is no alignment whatsoever between the values of Left and Right. The Left is the party of assassinating its opponents and then openly celebrating it; the Right is the party of debating opponents. The Left is the party of opening borders and rigging elections in order to seize permanent, single-party hegemony; the Right is the party of protecting our borders and election integrity. The Left is the party of defunding police and emptying prisons; the Right is the party of law and order, to ensure the flourishing and safety of society. The Left is the party of sexualizing children and dismantling families; the Right is the party of protecting innocence and parental rights. I could go on and on, but the point is that there is no political unity possible anymore in America.
Individuals, however, especially family members, can still transcend all that and relate to each other as human beings. Unless, of course, you are a Democrat.

Dumb and Dumber, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Stupid are around
Hang around stupid long enough and it will rub-off on you. Kimmel is the epitome of STUPID!
What an arrogant, pushy bitch. Who does she think she is that she can dictate to others and demand they do as she has instructed?
These days there are too many women like this in prominent positions throughout society.
The reason they have ‘progressed’ so far in life (making it their life’s work to make everyone else miserable) is there are too many weak men who have let them insinuate themselves everywhere, facilitated by the commies.
from someone who produces nothing albeit chewing gum for the mind , to relatives who probably have real jobs , giving her a wide berth is merciful . she would happily assault them if she could like her fellow travellers . free speech is a surefire way of knowing who to avoid . strange that her loved ones are only loved if they agree with her distorted view of life . so much for dei .
Just like a girl, all the way down to the vocal fry and the passive aggressive launch of “hurt feelings.” Women are not suited for warfare. Politics is warfare.
And the vocal fry is almost exclusively the province of human lemmings.
The venomous bimbo most likely ascribes to the “silence is violence” motto – another of many contradictory & idiotic clichés said by the left.
As 90% of her family didn’t waste there time responding, she has that accusation to fall back on.
(In reality the “silence is violence” is a cudgel to demand conformity . . . or else.)
The podcast “We can do Hard Things” is laughable on it’s face. Leftists don’t bother with performing hard things, as it requires effort.
They inflict hard things; they never solve them.
I have at least three liberal clients. I see opportunities for being an ambassador for conservative values – not an opportunity to vent & rant. (If politics come up, I posit questions such as “What percentage should our taxes be?” It causes them to think, rather than toss off a talking point.)
Leftist clients won’t have me. Fine by me, as I don’t tolerate seething, violent fools.
Why give them the publicity they seek? Yes. Articles like this. (Well written, I may say.)
For being an annoyance, I spent much of kindergarten time in the “cloak room.” (mid-1960s)
We need a cloak room for the big people.
Our daughter-in-law (and by association our son) have nothing to do with us because, as she wrote in a tweet, we “voted against her interest and how could they do that to someone they supposedly love.” Leftists are narcissistic children who think only of themselves.
This woman represents a very wicked and unattractive group of fools who prioritizes politics over her dearest loved ones. By arrogantly announcing that she will control the flow of conversations at the most unifying season of the year, she is committing social suicide. It is not about politics; it is about CONTROL AND POWER. The motives of the liberals are about camouflaging their obsessive desire to control others. She probably believes that being a producer of a famous talk show gives her the credibility to expand her power to her family.
When love is superseded by arrogance, it is no longer love.,
Her family will probably tolerate her because they love her.
I see Jimmy, the beta male, submitting to the most powerful person in his marriage. This is typical of Democratic men. They submit to their wives while trying to destroy the ultimate alpha male, Donald Trump. They are so tough in public but abject failures as leaders of their domain.
When most of one’s comic shtick is to walk on stage and declare “Trump sucks,” it is not even clever.
Ugh!!
Kimmels wife thinks she has it bad with family members on the right?! Guess what leftist chick, you have no idea how insufferable you are by constantly nagging your politically on-the-right family members who so kindly put up with YOU!
Why is it that leftists feel like they can shove their politics down our throats but if we did the same to them, they would freak out?!
I have “leftist fatigue” BIG TIME!! They rub you raw like an awful blister on your foot!
Well……I, for one, am tired of sitting alone with my hubby at the Thanksgiving table while leftist family members avoid us like the plague! I’m finally becoming like a lefty and staying home to make my own turkey dinner and actually ENJOY my Thanksgiving (and actually pray (not many leftists do this anymore either!) and be…well….thankful) on Thanksgiving day!
I listened to a portion of her interview. She’s just another vile hateful leftist.
The idea that voting for or supporting the Trump agenda is “voting against my husband and my family” is a sign of a severe mental illness. Unless Jimmy Kimmel decides to run for office, there’s nothing personal about not watching him or voting for someone he doesn’t like. He gets 1 million viewers out of a population of 350 million. Ozzy Man gets more viewers on YouTube. Jimmy Kimmel is not all that important on the overall scheme of things.
Another match made in Hell?!?
All that missing is the blue or pink hair highlighting. Emotional reasoning…I “feel” therefore it is…in full bloom here. For those who don’t recognize the term above it’s one of the ten dysfunctional thinking patters of cognitive therapy. It would take too long here to show how at least five more of the ten are intertwined and at play here as well.
Kimmel wife is definitely has malnutrition. Those toothpick arms need way more protein to build muscle mass just like her brain needs it to fight insanity.
And we’re supposed to be surprised by this revelation?
Excellent Mark Tapson
