Our side never plays the game. If we tried to cancel them, the media will scream bloody murder and make accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, partisanship or all of the above... and our feckless GOP politicians would scurry away with their tails between their legs.
It’s not just the politicians game though. The left travels in packs. Someone says something “offensive” and then like clockwork progressive institutions begin to fire people or otherwise cancel them. They don’t need politicians to tell them to do so. They just do it. We should just do it too.
