The left has based virtue in a particular class of human beings. As they expressed it in the Marxist Manifesto, "Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis." So all morality is invested in the Party, which becomes a problem when people find out that the Party is chock full of sinners and reprobates. Suddenly the wisdom of investing all morality in God and admitting that humans are fallible and frail, sinners, in other words, becomes obvious. When the Party is seen as flawed the whole thing falls apart, but God remains pure up in Heaven.
As they scream helplessly at the sky, the left, regardless what else might happen, has lost decades of "gains" as a result of all of these sex scandals. Not to the alt-right, which is nothing special, but to the realization of their own human frailty. They will find that equality intolerable.

Not only does human frailty make the dictatorship of the party untenable, it makes even lesser forms of coercion such as virtue signalling and nudging ineffective. God may speak down to us, but not Kevin [Costner]. The scandals rocking Hollywood, the political elite and the media are qualitatively different from any scandal that could embroil a conservative because latter was always just a man while the former were special men who stood as judges of all mankind able to nudge or signal virtue as the arc of history bade them do.
