They have been trying to cancel us out for an awful long time now? Theyre upset that Major League Baseball is moving the All Star Game, but yet they dont want you to vote in that same state! Go figure, they afraid of us, yet the only they can do to punish the voters and its not going to happen!

(2,238 posts)The right wingers conncoted this as a way to make themselves look like the victims. They think they're so cute and clever.
It's made up. It's FAKE.
All Americans have First Ammendment rights...but it doesn't mean there aren't consequences for words and actions.

(2,807 posts)Republicans are programmed to do what they're told to do. They have no hope of independent thought or action. It's like they share one big hive-mind, and why they ALL say the same simple slogans.
Hopeless, hideous creatures.

(32,061 posts)This is them screaming, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!!" It's all they have left. People are starting to realized that all they are corrupt and hypocritical as hell, and have nothing to offer other than obstruction and distraction. Now, they're flailing, and their "cancel culture" bullshit is just more of that.

(1,048 posts)it's hard to not look at the Dems working on covid relief and infrastructure and contrast it with people like Lindsay Graham prancing around the rifle range in his dockers and truly wonder why people vote Republican.

(1,282 posts)They can't or won't acknowledge that they are the beneficiaries of white privilege, but if those privileges are threatened because of the injustice that is thereby established, that can't be tolerated.
An example is how they insist that strict voter ID is needed to protect the integrity of the vote, even though it establishes a huge obstacle to some of our less privileged citizens that they aren't interested in addressing. But when the idea of a vaccine passport is floated as a tool to protect public health, they scream of the injustice. Their hypocrisy escapes them.

(3,261 posts)The early fallout from the #TakeAKnee protests were met with studied indifference by many NFL leaders, and former President Donald Trump and countless other political figures repeatedly cast wide and sometimes violent derision their way.
Where are the anti-cancel culture warriors in Kaepernick jerseys? Where are the anti-cancel culture warriors fighting for men and women who allege wrongdoing at great risk to their own career? It's very convenient that the same people who want to convince you that cancel culture is real also seem to be the ones determining who is worthy of being saved from such a fate, and who is not. That's because cancel culture isn't real.

(8,088 posts)They only care about money and that's why they're pitching a fit over the all-star game being moved. They are well aware they've been "trying to cancel us out for an awful long time now." They don't care. It's all projection (see Dixie Chicks, Colin Kaepernick, Keurig, etc.). They excel at catchy two-word propaganda, with "cancel culture" now out there in the lexicon being used against us. They will use anything and everything they can against us, and lie or omit while doing it.
