Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly decried “cancel culture,” but on Thursday night, he proved once again that he’s one of its biggest practitioners. Trump released an angry statement decrying a number of Republican figures for being disloyal to him and called on Fox News to ditch longtime contributor Karl Rove, who he labeled a “RINO.” “Karl Rove is all talk and no action!” Trump wrote. “Fox News should get rid of Karl Rove and his ridiculous ‘whiteboard’ as soon as possible!” Trump was apparently triggered by a Wall Street Journal column in which Rove criticized the former president’s CPAC speech as “divisive, controversial and embittered.”
If that is all Trump is doing then he is not aware of what the true meaning of cancel culture is He needs to *Call Karls fitness center and threaten them with a twitter mob assault to destroy their business if they dont ban Karl *Call his wife's place of work threaten them with a twitter mob assault to destroy their business if they dont fire her *Call the networks advertisers and threaten them with a twitter mob assault to destroy their business if they dont stop airing Karl *Call their childrens private school threaten them with a twitter mob assault to destroy their business *Call their pet groomer threaten them with a twitter mob assault to destroy their business if they dont stop
Puritan republicans push government to ban films they don't like from adults. But what about mah children's books getting pulled by private companies!! The bill, introduced into the Utah Senate last month by staunch anti-porn crusader Wayne A. Harper, is now headed to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. On February 19, the Utah House of Representatives passed an amended version of the controversial bill that would mandate a default “porn filter” on any phones, computers, tablets or any other electronic devices sold in the state starting in 2022. HB 72, sponsored by Rep. Susan Pulsipher (R-South Jordan) — a realtor with no technology experience — was speedily passed by the House only hours after it had cleared the committee stage by the narrowest of margins (a 6-5 vote). Members of Utah trade associations, tech company lobbies and free speech groups all advocated against HB 72. If passed, the mandatory filters — from which for-profit, faith-based software companies have been profiting for some time — would have to be activated by default in 2022 if certain additional conditions, attached to the bill as an amendment, are met. According to analysts, international manufacturers of phones and computers like Apple or Google could face civil liability if they don't comply.

I would call these Trump statements opinions There were no coordinated effects made to follow through It like me saying that Here4money should be removed...If I do nothing beyond that then it is nothing like cancel culture
Yeah but Trump and his ilk wanted to cancel all of those who spoke bad about him because of his ego and tiny dick.... just because he did not succeed does not mean he is just as much of a fucktard cancel cock
Not to mention most of these so call "cancel culture" incidents are nothing more than righties getting triggered when someone calls for the firing or boycott of the perceived offenders. The party doing the firing/sponsoring is under no obligation to follow through. It's exactly the same shit except Trump once carried the weight of the presidency, an army of yes men bootlickers he appointed in government, and a fanatical base when doing it.
Trump appealed to his sheep to cancel. The people appealed to the Dr. Seuss publishers to cancel. Both are attempts to cancel; whether or not they are successful. As usual, generally, Cons are the biggest hypocrites.
Cancel advocates..... please note the following important guideline... It is OK to cancel rappers if they are white. But not acceptable to cancel black rappers whose lyrics include the n word every three seconds and refer to women as hoes continuously. Gen Z seemingly only discovering Eminem’s offensive lyrics now as they attempt to cancel rapper https://metro.co.uk/2021/03/03/emin...-recent-cancellation-14181776/?ito=smart-news Forget whether skinny jeans are hip or not, Gen Z and Millennials are now at war over Eminem, with younger listeners demanding the rapper is cancelled over his violent lyrics. Despite the rapper being around since before some Gen Z were even born (between 1997-2012), they’ve recently come to discover his lyrics in Rihanna collaboration Love The Way You Lie and, frankly, they want his head. You know the one, the one where he raps about if his metaphorical partner in the song ever attempted to break up with him he’d set her on fire? Specifically: ‘If she ever tries to f**king leave again / I’mma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire.’ (More at above url)
