Conservatives always act like they are getting 'canceled' based on a mere difference in opinion

But There is difference between not liking someone or ‘canceling’ them because they have a different opinion on an issue from not liking them or ‘canceling’ them because they are hateful & mean people.....every time conservatives find themselves getting ‘canceled’ they bring up the former and call us ‘triggered’ when it’s really the latter.....ironically they are the ones who do the ‘canceling’ based on the former

and those that disagree with them,and entitled to STFU or convert.

Their 1st Amendment are absolute, they should be protected from the consequences of their speech.

Usual fascist attitude.

The rest of us need to move on, progress forward, and ignore the rantings of these miscreant simpletons.

5. Trumpists say they have been "cancelled" when in fact they are simply facing logical consequences

for their vile actions.

When you act horribly, no one wants to be associated with you. The solution is to stop acting like monsters.

6. Cancel television

We do not live in a reality television show. No one is cancelled. When shows are cancelled, it's because no one is watching crappy programming. It's economics--not enough eyeballs watching the ads that pay for the show.

Facing consequences for your words and deeds is accountability. Doing the time for the crime is not being cancelled.

It has nothing to do with personal like or dislike of the man. It's not about the man at all. It's about eh Office, and the abuse of that office in the most egregious ways.

They so identify with the ex racist misogynist dictator in chief, they take every accurate observation as a personal criticism. They take offense because they know they are offensive. It's their whole MO. Offend others, and dare them to be offended.

I've never hated other people for simply existing. THose still supporting sedition and insurrection and lawlessness deserve hatred. They are vile and evil.

They're wrong, but try to tell them that....oh, wait, if you tell them that, you are "cancelling" them. WTF?
