Peterson has a massive number, if not every, lecture of his posted online. He's challenged people to find a single instance of him mis-gendering a student of his in the past when they try to nail him for being bigoted, and nobody ever has, because he doesn't, because that isn't his issue. Outside of the relatively recent "cultural marxism is code for anti semitic" meme that people have been trying to push, he's pretty much center-left.

Shapiro being "alt-right" is even more baffling since he's a relatively orthodox Jewish never-trumper.

In both cases, it's a pretty clear the goal is "destroy their reputation so people don't listen to them".

Really the reason they get so much hate is that they are good at debating and most leftists can't go beyond emotional arguments and false labels. There are so many ridiculous and extreme people on the right that get a pass cause they are comical in their arguments and don't draw the people these two do. I disagree a lot with shapiro on social stuff, religion, and I'm more in the middle Israel/Palestine, but he is obviously a great debater.
