- saubeidl 1y agoAnd there we go again, the Republican party - self-proclaimed paragon of the first Amendment - showing its true colors once again. Free speech for me, not for thee.
- Suzuran 1y agoThat's the old and broke GOP. The new GOP understands that the Constitution has been fatally corrupted by woke and liberalism, and our only hope is to crown a King who speaks the Truth of all things for all of time. When nobody can say we are losing, we must be winning.

- swiftcoder 1y agoWe literally just did this with a different talkshow host, and he was back at work after, what, a week? Now that the networks have learned how their audiences respond to politically-motivated talkshow host firings... I don't see this going anywhere
- netsharc 1y agoI guess it's mostly for the chilling effect... Kimmel and Seth are big enough names, but what about less known people, would they feel free about joking about the sexual-assaulter-in-chief in public, or would they censor themselves?
- FrustratedMonky 1y agoIt's the grind. Each successive cancellation wears down the public. Eventually people start being cancelled and there is no fight back. It's in the authoritarian playbook. Forgot the page to provide citation.
