Do the political right believe in 'Cancel Culture?' I think the do, only because they practice...

A group of Trump alumni have created a groups dedicated to unseating the 10 republicans who voted for impeachment. They're trying to cancel an entire election. They cancel anything they don't like without the spirit of negotiation or compromise.

The GOP can readily tell you what and who it's fighting against, but they offer no platform4 of actual governance. So yes, the political right believes in. embraces and practices cancel culture.

Yeah, they invented Cancel Culture. On SW, they pass around a list of accounts that must be blocked.

Their illustrious leader, Trump, rooted his entire campaign, and presidency, in cancel culture: do not watch CNN, do not watch NBC, do not read the NY Times, do not read the WaPo, and so forth and so on.

Stop being a narcissist and an a -hole and people won’t block you. But to assume conservatives approve of disgusting liberal ideology simply because a few people won’t put up with your bullshit is a bit rich , even for a lib.

Right wingers now block frequently when asked for actual evidence of the Big Lie (that Trump won the election), because evidence does not exist and they cannot provide any. So I would say yes, they believe in cancelling others that do not believe as they do. It has happened all along on SW, but may seem like more now due to the huge influx of Trump Cultists from Yahoo a few months ago.

I don't usually like the "both sides do it" but yes, both sides do it in this case.

But either side justifies why they do it so it's OK for them but not the other. They even may call it different things.

The end result is the same. And it happens because people play the politics game to score points/wins for "their team". This is the end result of a two party system in which it is "us" vs "them" and everything about "them" is wrong.

Literally left, right and center, people are all the same.

You have not been canceled because you could post your post..

Blocking cancels no one..

Being canceled means you are no longer allowed to post on this platform..

The blocking feature on any site is used in different ways, depending on the individuals. Some refuse to ever block another while others block anyone and everyone.
As for bias... let us "fact check" that and get back to you.
Okay... that's it. I believe many have bias and prefer to see others as fools and idiots...especially if they can't prove something...even if it may be true.
If you hang on topics that are sure to cause issues, you get a lot of upset and even blocking.

Just no. Not every who comes here wants a debate or an argument.

I once listed how well looked after I was in hospital. This got politically hijacked and taken so far off track that I had to delete the whole post.

And therefore people can block whoever they want to for whatever reason they choose.

I can't speak for other places, in my region there is high support for the right, and tumble weed signs of for support for the left. No one I talk to agrees with 16 yr Olds voting or voting w/o I.D., or support unemployment benefits, or open boarders, etc. Windham N.H. was the first to do a forensic investigation and found discrepancy in the tally compared to the result. 🤔

To be totally honest, all parts of the political spectrum engage in cancel culture. They just don't like to admit it.

Conservatives cancelled Nike and Coca-Cola.
