We all know the level of vitriol has elevated these last 12 years

It goes way further back than that. Think of the record burning parties in the 50s (or 60s, whenever that happened in the US), or the Nazis burning books. The right has always tried to silence critics and people who are not like them.

Cancel culture has always been more of a right-wing thing anyway.

Why even bother? If he believes using the word is harmless, he’s going to continue to do so no matter how many conversations are had. We’ve got to stop coddling these racists and start taking their toys.

“sets a dangerous precedent,” because it leads to a “victimhood mentality.”

Dr. Oz! I thought I heard quacking! What’s in your black bag of snake oil remedies today?
