(11,306 posts)and you're 100% correct. The right has always been the first to ostracize, punish, banish, shun, fire ...
F*ck sake -- oftentimes even from their own damned families! So PLEASE -- don't give me the weepy 'cancel culture' speech. Y'all got it comin' -- in spades!
Nowhere in the 1st Amend (or any other part of the Constitution) does it say that you get to keep your job (or your friends) while being a complete and total assh*le to all around you.

The Mike Huckabees of the world can fuck right off with "cancel culture".

And yet fucking Josh Hawley is the victim...
