CEC is really pushing that cancel culture is a liberal/stalinist plot to destroy america while totally ignoring how often they try to cancel stuff. Is canceling ok as long as the "right things" are cancelled?

Are you sure?

The longer it goes, the more it becomes evident that “cancel culture” is not a thing that’s limited to one political philosophy.

reposting because perfect

Trump raided Yakla in Yemen less than a month into his administration.

Actually about a week or two in.

Did that set a pattern for the rest of his administration?

one side is not combing through all the aspects of our history and culture and deciding it needs to be banned

Lol. Don’t be too sure of that…

When Trump entered the office, he chose Jeff Sessions as his AG and surrounded himself with establishment insiders who did everything they could to carry on as usual and remove him from office. He learned over the years and as he did, you witnessed his policies being implemented overseas. Do you really have no positive comments about Trump’s desires to end the endless wars?

Jeff Sessions had nothing to do with the raid on Yakla.

And Trump kept the establishment off his team that made the decision to go in. He kept the State Department and mots regular defense officials out of the loop.

The decision-making team was Trump, Pence, Mattis, Pompeo, Flynn, Kushner, Bannon and Dunford.

Dunford is the only one who could have remotely been called “establishment” in that group.

So no one remembers when conservatives tried to burn Dixie Chicks CDs, before someone realized how hard and gross it is to burn plastic?

You left out Starbuck’s. Remember those evil cups?

Big difference between a consumer boycott and being deplatformed. Which of those had the credit card companies refuse to process payments? Which ones were thrown off FB or Twitter?

Jeff Sessions was the example of Trump’s ability to understand his job and those he surrounded himself with guiding him through each day of his term. He was a lousy choice…just like Rosenstein. Those in Trump’s ear early on were establishment turds that desired to maintain the same-o, same-o swampy DC…hence your example that took place early on, prior to Trump gaining the necessary experience to do it his way.

I think we’re forgetting the attempt to cancel literally anyone who opposed the Iraq War they totally don’t remember supporting these days, calling them traitors and terrorist lovers lol.

From the platforms that existed at the time or social media that wouldn’t become a thing until years later?

I see what you’re doing? “But were they banned from apps that didn’t exist?” Do better.

They also canceled yoga classes in schools. They did bring it back as long as they don’t say “namaste”.

Conservatives literally canceled French fries in 2003. Lol.
