If they hadn't elected Trump, the left would never have been aggravated in these numbers. You all awoke the sleeping bear.

The fact that Trump was elected was because of shit like cancel culture. Trump was the inevitable pushback to the SJW movement.

If you want to blame anybody for cancel culture, you can blame Obama who encouraged far-left activism.

Very accurate.

Trump was the inevitable... because he wasn't Hillary.

Trump was really just in the right place at the right time... anyone could have beat Hillary simply by being "not Hillary"... her campaign scandals just continued to pile up and exposed how deeply corrupt these career politicians really are. I would have voted for Ronald McDonald over Hillary.

Trump was elected because a lot of dumb reasons, but especially because a certain subset of people were upset they weren't being worshipped or in the spotlight anymore. You know, the idiots that froth whenever they see a gay character on tv, or a black person in the street.

He definitely made it worse. The Democrats were very clearly the more educated and reasonable party prior to Trump's campaign. Then when the campaign stated, the Democrats' loudest voices became the Cancellers and Communists. It was no longer the party of when you go low, we go high. It's the you go low, we also go low.

Except Christian "cancel culture" was just free publicity for things that went on to be much bigger for having the controversy, SJW cancel culture actually led to things being canceled.

lolololololol

Even when Hillary was spouting "You go low, we go high," she was constantly aiming below the belt. As for the radicalization of the Democrats, keep in mind that BERNIE SANDERS was a leading candidate in 2016. And he declared his run before Trump did. For Sanders to get support, you'd need a sizable communist following.

he did? when? He was a center left politician... The leftiest thing he did was offer a health insurance reform which isn't even a half step towards affordable universal health care (an issue which isn't even political in most countries because it's a fucking human right)

Obama said people shouldn't try to silence someone because they're white or male. Outrage warriors are not his peeps.

The Dixie Chicks weren't so much attacked by "Christian groups" as they were attacking their own fans, which predictably went poorly.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


"Cancel culture" is a campaign of bullying and intimidation where companies will drop people and projects over the slightest of allegations (when they'd willfully covered up actual bad behavior in the past) more on the fear of backlash than the merits of any claim. And the movement itself is largely fueled by people looking to get famous on social media rather than actual objections regarding the accusations.

Keep in mind that the Christian outrage over rape allegations was ignored whereas nowadays people have their career ruined over allegations as minor as making somebody feel uncomfortable.

no anyone who has actually been paying attention saw the bubbling of cancel culture well before Trump was even running.

This isn't something new, you just weren't looking hard enough and it didn't affect people who you knew until now.

He endorsed and advocated SJW action, he largely helped to make BLM a thing (especially when it came to publicly assuming police guilt and taking the side of the deceased before any facts were known), and encouraged the kind of social & political behavior embodied by things like "Cancel Culture." While since then he's realized (a little too late) what he had a hand in creating harmful movements and taken more of a "Pull back a little, fellas" stance, that doesn't change the fact that he drove these things in the first place.

While his political policy might have been moderate-left, his social policy had often been far-left. And over the past five years he's been trying to write his legacy through a bit of revisionist history.

hopefully we can avoid making this a partisan issue by saying that ANY cancelling is dumb and stupid and you need to seriously go outside and get some fresh air if you think any of this is how a functioning society works lmao

No it hasn't. You are giving SJWs power they don't have. Nothing has been cancelled due to SJWs.

Anyone "cancelled" by SJWs is more popular now then they ever were.
