Yes, those events happened but that was over 20 years ago at this point. I often see people utilizing an argument that either minimizes/trivializes modern cancel culture by invoking either "conservatives did this in the past, just look at when they got mad at [x]" or "this is actually what conservatives have been doing the whole time". Yet, whenever I see examples like the one you have posted, they seem far more mild than some of the recent cancellations that seek to un-person someone.
- JaimeThompson 5y agoGroups like the Family Research Council, Concerned Women of America, and others routinely call for boycotts and "canceling" of individuals they do not like. The FRC once even called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A in 2019 https://townhall.com/columnists/toddstarnes/2019/11/29/family-research-council-calls-for-boycott-of-chickfila-n2557152 https://townhall.com/columnists/toddstarnes/2019/11/29/famil... They do this sort of thing often.
