Conservative cancel culture often criticizes freedom of speech and non-violent protests under the disguise of patriotism. The unfortunate outcome of these actions is the lack of critical thinking on the important issues being raised by communities impacted by racism, ableism, transphobia, and hateful rhetoric/policies against religious minorities and immigrants.

Canceling people is a practice that is certainly not limited to conservatives but I do wonder why many people blame the left for cancel culture when there are numerous instances when the right waged a cancel culture war on people (eg. The Chicks [formerly known as The Dixie Chicks], Mitt Romney) and organizations (eg. Disney, Ford).

Anyways - Kaepernick, The Chicks, And Mitt Romney may very well be singing Mariah Carey’s verse, “Why you so obsessed with me?”

“Republicans Are Still Running Against Colin Kaepernick - On the campaign trail, conservatives run ads that have turned the former NFL quarterback into a favorite punching bag.”
