Republicans are always whining about what they call "cancel culture" when it is exactly who they are and what they do. More BS republican propaganda projection.
RINO - the acronym for Republican In Name Only - is the way they exclude any one who does not open up and SWALLOW THE WHOLE LOAD of Republican BS (with its lifetime ongoing anti-American Russian black-ops support crapola).

(47,351 posts)"I know you are, but what am I?" No real creativity or imagination, but they make up for it with repetition. Classic propaganda tactics.

(11,726 posts)Like anything that Conservatives say, the reality is quite different from their rhetoric.
They only care about cancelling when THEIR viewpoints are challenged. They try to silence each other frequently. They kicked two of their own Representatives out of the caucus because they put the integrity of elections and the safety of the Capitol and Congress above partisan politics.
I have said many a time on DU that Conservatives do not really believe in the slogans they state. They don't want "small government". They want a government powerless to stop wealthy people and corporations from doing what they want to do in pursuit of money and power. They will grow the government to whatever size they think is necessary to control womens' bodies and the behavior of minorities. "Family Values" merely means that Conservatives want to impose their idea of a patriarchal society on "those people" who are of lower status. Wealthy people will still be able to get abortions and have mistresses and gay sex, just not the "lower class people". "Fiscal responsibility" means that there will be no spending on social welfare for the lower classes. Money is NOT to be used on anything that challenges the power structure they believe is the "natural order" of things.
They do not care one whit about cancelling liberal and leftist speech. They ONLY care about when their ideas are challenged.
