Sam Harris did not pivot to anti-trans grifting.

I gave up on him some years ago so I don't know how he is about trans issues, but at some point he too boarded the right wing grift train.

A "right wing grifter" who is an outspoken atheist, hates Trump with a passion, is pro-vaccine and spends most of his time discussing meditation?

That's a pretty weird flavor of right wing grifter.

At the same time he advocates for the 'race realist' Charles Murray, cries over this or that being woke and hangs out almost exclusively with right wing weirdos. A fall from grace if I ever saw one.

It's sad to watch because he was probably the smartest of the new atheist bunch and genuinely interesting.
