      It’s only cancel culture when those “woke, Democrat libs” do it. When a Republican does it, it’s called “justice”.

      I hate this timeline.

        Conservatives had been canceling things for decades, or even centuries beforehand. The Satanic Panic, burning Harry Potter books for promoting witchcraft, burning real people who were accused of practicing witchcraft… Conservatives have historically used cancel culture to enforce the status quo and exert control.

        It wasn’t until it was turned against them that they began calling it cancel culture and complaining about it.

      I work for a school district and received a newsletter from our superintendent about an employee who posted that Kirk deserved it on Facebook.

      Fucking doubt they would’ve been as concerned if someone said similar about Melissa hortman.
