“Whatever the case, examples of people being canceled for refusing to bow at wokeness’ left-wing altar abound. As Russell writes:

Gina Carano was fired from Disney and Lucasfilm’s “The Mandalorian,” on which she enjoyed a leading role, after she posted a story on social media comparing the current political climate to Nazi Germany.

… A lot of regular Americans have experienced cancel culture, too, just for holding traditional conservative views. Peter Vlaming was a French teacher at West Point High School in Virginia who got fired in 2018 for not using a transgender student’s preferred pronouns. He sued the school board, and they … settled the case.

Then, remember Rosanne Barr? She also was fired by ABC, in 2018 (under pressure from Barack and Michelle Obama, Barr claims). Google axed employee James Damore in 2017 after he questioned “diversity” policies. The same year, Professor Bret Weinstein followed suit in opposing diversity schemes and was bullied out of Evergreen State College. Nobel laureate scientist Tim Hunt was nixed by University College London in 2015 for making an innocent joke. Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich was compelled to resign in 2014 after supporting a (traditional) marriage proposition. And in 2005, Larry Summers was dislodged from Harvard’s presidency after theorizing that men had a unique proclivity for science. The preceding is just a short list, too.

What’s more, Barack Obama, who recently had the temerity to criticize Trump for targeting enemies, became notorious for weaponizing the federal government. Notably, his administration used the IRS to damage conservative tax-exempt groups.

Then there was the aforementioned pressure the Biden administration put on social-media platforms to censor traditionalists. As I put it at the time, the feds were literally “doing an end run around the First Amendment,” using “the tech companies as proxies to censor speech.”

The left knows no bounds to its hypocrisy!
