It's hard to imagine being so uncontroversial in your opinions, that you could afford not to even believe cancel culture is a real thing.

It's the theme that the Trump campaign has decided on running against (c.f. the speech at Mt.

Previous administrations could at least invoke the threat of death. The worst terrors of the modern conservative are apparently being yelled at by hippies on the internet.
