> Nah, they’re labels and myths that right-wingers throw around because it makes them feel good and Fox News tells them to. Like I pointed out before, they won’t apply ‘cancel culture’ to things like conservative protests against gay teachers teaching, Sinead Oconnor ripping the pope’s picture, Janet Jackson’s nipple, Harry Potter including magic, Starbucks holiday cups, or interracial kissing on TV. I mean, how can cancel culture be this new left wing thing when conservatives lost their shit back during the original run of Star Trek over such ‘immoral’ behavior?
It’s quite simple: when liberals get upset about things like businesses promoting bigotry and persecution, it’s because they’re easily-triggered snowflakes, but when conservatives get upset about things like Starbuck cups, people saying “Happy Holidays”, having to “press 1 for English”, _American Sniper_ not winning the “Best Picture” Oscar or the president wearing a tan suit, it’s because those things are **important**.

> Which is why it’s weird to use the phrase as the subject line in this case, because ‘insulted Trump’ is not something that those nasty liberals actually object to.
The kind of person who supports Trump and uses terms like “cancel culture” and “social justice warrior” is most likely somebody who doesn’t really understand the political issues they talk about.
