We are so fucked.
As I predicted, we’re in political neutral right now. Or, to be more specific, the center-Left is relaxed after the turmoil of the Trump Era, while the center-Right is tapping its fingers, waiting for an autocrat to be elected to stop scary brown people from taking over.
At the center of this is so-called “cancel culture.”
This is the debate over being “politically correct” taken to the next level. This is the hook that about 12 would-be deranged autocrats are going to hang their hat on when they come screaming for our liberal democracy.
I really struggle with cancel culture. The conservatives I know are so passionate about how they feel as though just by being conservative they can have their lives ruined. While I still have yet to find any instances of this, or at least a literal instance of it (usually, people who are canceled are either racists, bigots or misogynist who hide behind the term “cancel culture.”)
But that’s not even the point. The point is the vast majority of your average conservative THINKS this is the case. And a lot of liberal-progressives don’t exactly help their case any by being way, way, way, too sensitive about anyone who doesn’t follow the media narrative in their views.
Regardless. I’d rather have cancel culture than a fascist state. Fuck MAGA.
