Cancel Culture Reaches the Next Level

For as long as there have been human beings, there have been those particular human beings who simply cannot tolerate hearing or seeing anything they disagree with. The methods of dealing with them have changed as societal rules and norms have changed. At certain points of human existence, those who might have held differing opinions or expressed themselves differently were quickly dispatched with, especially when it came to differing religious beliefs. Thankfully, for the most part, those kinds of drastic measures are no longer used on people of differing views. When America was founded, we prided ourselves on our differing viewpoints. We even enshrined them in our Constitution. Think the Founding Fathers envisioned a House of Representatives and Senate that all nodded in agreement, think again. As conservatives, we may still have to put up with crazy left-wing relatives at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we let them blather on, roll our eyes, and pour ourselves another glass of wine. We have disagreements between people in our own house. But while we might think their views are nuts, we still love them.

But it’s those same crazy left-wingers who are responsible for “cancel culture.” The practice of voicing a view or opinion online, and those who disagree with you don’t just say, “I disagree with you and here’s why,” they decide your entire life must be destroyed. That destruction varies anywhere between blocking you from contacting them on social media platforms, to getting you kicked off those same social media platforms, to even things like threatening your family, causing you to lose your job, or worse. Fortunately, in 2024, people started to push back on the absurdity of cancel culture. Conservatives all but dared the left to try it, knowing that if they did, there would be plenty more conservatives to the rescue to prevent it from happening. But as usual, the left are like lemmings. They keep coming, they never stop shoving their insane agenda down the throats of Americans. Now, because they can never accept their ideas being rejected, it is pretty safe to say that cancel culture has been taken up a notch.

The next level has been brewing for a while. Think of the first term of Donald Trump. You had leftists having screaming sessions in the middle of the street, but that was the tame part. The culmination of that had to be the now-infamous picture of “comedienne” Kathy Griffin holding a fake, bloodied, severed Trump head. Then there were the mock assassinations of Trump featured in a play in Central Park, with a Trump impersonator playing a Julius Caesar-like character. Then there was the Snoop Dogg video portraying a Trump assassination. You can even go as far back as Madonna’s famous “I’ve thought a lot about blowing up the White House” declaration. Griffin’s little stunt all but killed her career, hope it was worth it. Snoop managed to come back from that horrific video. It’s unclear as to how, and even why. Madonna got herself investigated by the Secret Service.

Trump assassination fantasies went a bit quiet during the Biden years. As long as the left could trot Joe out now and then, so he would call Trump and his supporters fascists or garbage, they appeared happy. But the left are inherently unhappy, miserable people. So, imagine their glee when former FBI Director James Comey came along. His story: he and the Mrs. were just out taking a stroll on the beach one day, and they happened upon a very interesting seashell formation. It spelled out “86 47.” Hmmm, said the guy who has spent most of his adult life locking up bad guys, I wonder what that means? The Mrs., who had worked in restaurants, said, Well, to servers, it means to get rid of an item on the menu when you run out of it. It was a mystery. Literally no one believes him, but it appears that it has given the rest of the leftist crazies a green light to say out loud what James Comey claims he didn’t know he was saying.

Last weekend, in Wichita, Kansas, there was a protest. Certainly, nothing wrong with a protest. It is our right as Americans. But it was what the protesters were shouting that should have the hair on the back of the neck of every American standing up. It seems every lefty kook in America has now adopted James Comey’s message, because Americans were marching down a street in an American city, chanting “86 47.” James Comey must be so proud. But the best part, not one person was arrested for calling for the murder of a sitting President of the United States, and so far, Comey is walking free too. How is this happening in broad daylight in an American city?

It is the perfect storm of irresponsible, sore loser Democrat lawmakers, who have signaled to their constituents that this is perfectly okay by making sketchy statements of their own. It is the petulant children who make up their constituency, who need puppies and safe spaces when they encounter an opposing idea or view, and wrapping it all up in a big commie red bow is the mainstream dinosaur media. They can’t come out and say they love it, but they can certainly give a wink and a nod to the camera to egg the whole disgusting mess on. Let’s even throw in the American education system, which has successfully brainwashed young skulls full of mush to hate America, with the added bonus of indoctrinating them to hate Trump.

We are well past cancel culture. We are now in assassination culture. It’s kind of scary to think what the next level might be.
