“Cancel culture” has eclipsed “fake news” as the Republican catchphrase of the moment. To wit, recently Mr. Potato Head has been castrated. Anyone in possession of specific Dr. Seuss volumes has become rich overnight. But by far the most striking example of cancel culture is how the Kool-Aid faction of the Republican Party is in the business of censuring all who don’t partake. There’s woke, and then there’s comatose.
Nothing spells cancel culture like trying to cancel personal integrity, overturn elections and disenfranchise voters, all of which equates to trying to cancel democracy. Apparently, it’s OK to censure and shun somebody for voting his/her conscience and displaying a conviction to decency and an allegiance to what the Republican Party represented until 2016 — when suddenly it didn’t.
