The nut jobs didn't seem to mind cancelling them but I guess it's only okay when they do it. In recent years they changed their name to The Chicks.

Dropped the "Dixie" in recognition of the perpetual harm caused by the symbolism of the Confederacy. I was always a fan and even more so when they spoke out back in the early 00s... effectively ending their careers in Country music.

They never once said anything derogatory, did anything that hurt anyone. The showed their disapproval for Bush Part Deux for the right reasons and all the butthurt cons cried about it and wanted them cancelled. They can't stand the current shit because its consequence culture.

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.

Want to be a Q-Anon, Alex Jones, Christian Identity shill? Then maybe you ought to think twice about hawking your cheesy pillows on the cable channels. Just a thought.

wouldn't let their kids speak to me because I must be a Satanist. Damian Echols spent 18 years on death row because he owned a book on Wicca and wore black trenchcoats.

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

How many decades was even the rumor that you might be gay an excuse to destroy your entire career? The Hollywood Blacklist anyone?

Calling French Fries ... Freedom Fries ...

Because France did not support the Iraqi invasion ...

They called the French “Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys”

It was shameful

And the savagery directed at Black Lives Matter. And the necrotic investigations of every detail of the lives of those slain by unaccountable police to try to justify their executions.
And yet fucking Josh Hawley is the victim...
