Are we really supposed to believe that what they want to call "cancel culture" - determining what we want to spend our hard earned money on, is much more corrosive to democracy than storming the Capitol and murder? Trying to overturn election votes already certified by the states? This isn't the first time I've heard this, but at any other time I would laugh out loud at them. Right now it's sad. Besides, they renaming it "cancel culture" does not absolve them from the harshness of their use of "cancel culture" during Bush's reign. Should we talk about the Dixie Chicks, how about Dan Rather? They tried to rename French fried for Dog's sake.
