re: I don't want the right to embrace cancel culture.

Add another scalp to Trump's list of media darling's that have been defeated. That list is a mile long now.

Over the weekend, there was a lot of jibberish on social media where the right was trying to distance themselves from him b/c the radical left was trying to allege he came from a right wing family and was MAGA. A lot of response was to come back with yea but he had changed the last few years.

What I think Kimmel did even though he was mostly correct in his words, was use the entire phrase to mock conservatives, and make sure his viewers knew there was a theory the shooter was Maga, when he already knew that theory had been dispelled or should have known it if his judgement for conservatives wasn't clouded. He would have known by the way he presented the line many of his viewers would believe that the shooter was Maga b/c they don't have common sense. He presented it more as a news fact than a joke.

I don't think that's why he was fired. I think he was fired b/c most of his routine is Trump and conservative bashing and he'd already said he doesn't want Trump voters to watch him. His ratings weren't good either.

You are wrong. They need to suffer. The only way to get rid of cancel culture is if both sides want it gone. Until now, the left has been loving it. Let them learn to dread it, then maybe we can make deals.

Your thread title is a platitude. What did you expect in response?

Sorry, you may not like it, but Trump is making late night television great again. No more angry crybabies whining about not getting their way and shedding tears because everyone’s favorite president keeps winning. Democrats may get angry, even though he used to dress up in black face and mock an NBA player. He also tricked women into sticking their hands in his pants, not good, but suddenly he’s accepted by leftists cancel culture because ge gets angry at Trump. So sad

Cancel culture is getting someone fired for liking a Tweet or telling an offensive joke or saying an offensive word 10 years ago.

Consequence is spewing hatred, or in Kimmel's case, telling direct lies to people who (for whatever reason) consider you a legitimate source of news and information.

He said the shite at his fricking job dipshit.

Walk into your job, tell your boss to frick off, and claim your freedom of speech.

I hate cancel culture. But at the same time I dgaf about biting libs in the arse on this issue after what the right has been enduring for years.

Good point. Indeed it was nostalgic for a portion of our population
