Yeah, I think it’s mostly because the facade cannot be propped up by the corporate media any more. It’s so glaringly obvious that calling everyone that criticizes Israel’s foreign policy and America’s unwavering support for it “antisemitic” just isn’t going to fly any more and that most people openly point and laugh at the attempts now…
I guess Chomsky was considered outside the acceptable parameters of discussion in the corporate media/“liberal media”/MSM, but he has been pointing out what outliers both Israel and the U.S. are and have been for things like UN votes for decade upon decade.
I’d be surprised if a majority of Democratic voters even know who Chomsky is, and I’m sure quite a bit less have read him or have seen him talk, but even those that haven’t probably have had their own thoughts about blind support of Israel maintaining an open-air prison. Out of fear of being called an “anti-semite”, maybe 20-25 years ago, they might have kept that to themselves. I think the 'net started to change that quite some time ago, though.
It sure is interesting to see someone like Seinfeld still floating along on the vapors of the old paradigm, though.
