I'd love statistical evidence that "cancellations" have decreased under Trump. As far as I can tell, the only thing that might have changed is who is being "cancelled."

And people generally seem to be arguing and trying to destroy the lives of the people they disagree with at a higher rate than ever.

Has the right cancelled anyone? Like, a single person?

The biggest thing I can think of was a single episode of Jimmy Kimmel, lol. Which came from an incredibly bald-faced lie, on regulated public TV, about a high-sensitivity murder that had just happened.

I mean, how could you forget a washed-up rockstar shooting cans of beer because the beer company inked a sponsorship deal with a trans person?

I'm sorry but that list HAS to be satire, right?

Amazon and Apple were cancelled?

Yeah I think this is the key thing. Sure, some small groups of conservatives would have liked to "cancel" some things. But unlike the left, they have literally never succeeded.

"Cancellation" is just how the rich spell "the consequences of my actions".

Being burned by a mob is technically a consequence of the action of appearing like a witch.

That doesn't imply that's a good and healthy way to run a society.

Yes, the consequence-free current administration has been soooo much better for the US.
