Agree that the Blues can’t cancel Trump. Note that being affiliated with Red Tribe isn’t sufficient to avoid cancellation (though it probably helps) – see Petraeus, see the Republicans on these lists: 1, 2
Jordan Peterson seems basically impossible to cancel due to a combination of his shamelessness & his virtue (he isn’t really Blue Tribe though). Same for Joe Rogan and Tyler Cowen.
Jordan Peterson is probably indeed a good example. A more objective way to describe his demeanor than shamelessness is “not giving in”. One major reason why he seems to be popular is his perceived willingness to stick to controversial claims. In turn that popularity is some form of protection against attempts to get him to resign from his position at the University of Toronto.
However, I think that there are significant differences between Peterson and EA’s situation, so Peterson’s example is not my endorsement of a “shamelessness” strategy.
