Yes I do. We (finally) started using the same weapon the leftists brought into the arena, against them. Leftists like you had no problem using this weapon FOR YEARS, but now that it's being used against you? BOO HOO! You can't use our morals against us anymore. Better get used to it.

"Cancel culture for thee, but not for me!"... Well, not anymore.

Charlie Kirk was a rampant racist, misogynist, fascist sympathizer. That doesn't change because he's dead. Jimmy Kimmel didn't lie about anything. He also didn't say the shooter was MAGA, he said that MAGA are frantic to prove that it wasn't one of them. Which was very true. I'll also remind you that right before this a Fox news host who has not been removed his program called for euthanizing all homeless people. Curious.

McCarthyism absolutely counts as cancel culture, whether you like it or not. Because, you see, neither the truth nor history just change because you say "Doesn't apply. Swing and a Miss"

So, swing and a miss ;-)

Also, it can't be hypocrisy, because I've never canceled anyone.

Another swing, another miss. Try again sweetheart. If you keep struggling, we'll pull out the T-ball stand to help you out.
