How would that work? A social norm against cancel culture might be a solution (though it's not clear how we would get there from here), but "organized mobs outraged at cancel culture"? I don't really understand what the intended effects would be -- canceling the cancellers? That doesn't seem like it would be against cancel culture, but only picking new criteria for cancellation.

Show the public the chain of events that occurred, show the victims, and show the identities of the cancellers and the mean-spiritedness and illogic involved. And show, like Obama did[0], that cancel-culture progressivism is not what the the American left stands for. We can (we must!) turn the left against cancel culture if the left is to regain the moral high ground and the trust of the voters. And, ironically, we'll make more progress that way on the issues that progressives care about than by using their methods.
