One of our favorite aspects of leftists, particularly celebrity leftists, is how blissfully un-self-aware they all are, devoid of any sense of irony or their own hypocrisy.
This is usually on display with their many climate scam crusades, but also in their moving-goalpost definitions of 'fascism,' depending on whether their friends are in charge or not.
This week, actor Ben Stiller had our irony meters exploding as he rent his garments while telling everyone how scared he was about 'political retribution' under the Trump administration. Watch:
Shadow of Ezra (@ShadowofEzra) ~ Hollywood elitist Ben Stiller is claiming the Trump administration could target him in a wave of political retribution.
He says people might face consequences from the government simply for saying something “wrong,” and he believes he could be one of them.

Well ... heh heh heh ... that was a rambling, incoherent mess of a word salad. The only takeaway is that Ben is paranoid about being targeted because he's SO special. Puhleeeeease. Dude ... hate to tell you, but no one cares what you think.
You know, listening to that, we're becoming convinced that Stiller's famous male model character, Derek Zoolander, was basically just a self-portrait.
Be careful at the gas station, Ben.
We particularly like how Stiller brings up January 6 at the end (because the left is obsessed with January 6) without even a hint of irony.
Nick Searcy, Actor/Director/Producer/Author (@yesnicksearcy) ~ Hi @BenStiller:
Write us back if you get thrown in jail for four years without bond or a speedy trial because you were designated as a "domestic terrorist" because you "trespassed" into a public building after being waved in by Capitol Police, you ridiculous tool.
Yeah, Ben ... are you worried about being "targeted" because you know for a fact that the Biden administration did that to many American citizens during Brandon's Banana Republic?
It sure sounds like Stiller is worried that Republicans might do EXACTLY what his Democrat friends did.
And he expects sympathy for that.
The🐰FOO (@PolitiBunny) ~ Someone really needs to enlighten Ben Stiller about what Biden’s DOJ did to thousands of Americans for disagreeing with the government.
Parents labeled domestic terrorists for speaking up at school board meetings, pro-lifers charged for singing or silently praying outside abortion factories ... funny how Stiller never said a peep about any of that punishment of wrongthink.
Sara Radovanovitch (@the_cats_meowww) ~ Oh, does he mean like how the Biden administration and Stiller’s Hollywood pals targeted my family and destroyed our lives?? Go cry to your pal Zelensky, you delusional nepo baby.
Sara Radovanovich was an accomplished set designer and stylist who probably worked with a lot of Stiller's friends. Her fiancé, Jay Johnston (the former voice of Jimmy Pesto on the popular animated show Bob's Burgers), attended the January 6 rally. For that, Hollywood not only destroyed Johnston's career but blackballed Radovanovich as well.
Stiller didn't have anything to say about political retribution then. And he owes Radovanovich an apology.
Then, of course, there is the most famous example of retribution of all: our current President.
Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) ~ What’s the rule on persecuting political opponents?
The rule, as always, is: It's (D)ifferent when they (D)o it.
Patriot Jester- "ultra radicalized MAGA extremist" (@CuttingEdgeDino) ~ Do the useful idiots of the left think that we haven't seen this gig before? The left always accuses others of what they have done or are planning to do. The are so stuck in the echo chamber.
Yes, this is how only talking to a homogenous group of leftists for your entire life, and never engaging with people who disagree with you, rots your brain.
Stiller's hypocrisy aside, it is amusing that he is so self-important that he believes President Trump even gives two rips about him.
Mesachick (@Mesachick1) ~ Ben Stiller is really full of himself. LOL! He isn't that important - no one cares.
Ben is a paranoid narcissist.
TD (@DjuricTine) ~ Trust me Ben Stiller, no one gives a f*ck about you.
thomas J (@rightgay27) ~ As if President Trump cares about this loser.
Bill DeWahl (@CostanzasATMpin) ~ Why do all these Hollywood idiots think they're so important? Trump doesn't have time to care about you, dumbass.
They live in a world of make-believe.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that they cannot draw a line between that and reality, and that they all suffer from delusions of grandeur.
Jason Jones (@psujwj) ~ We all thought Zoolander was a character and we were wrong.
Potential Role Model (@ZenGhola_X} ~ As always, "How do I make it about me." 🤨 I imagine you’ll survive this, Ben.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
