They literally are trying to cancel anyone in their party who thought differently at all in terms of the former President's role in the insurrection!
Conservatism today is tightly intertwined with hyper-masculinity. They feel like because they are "old school" and therefore they are tougher and they like to push that narrative by framing change as "cancelling", however, when they do it it's "exercising rights" or "voicing displeasure". When you see democrats described with anti-masculine terms like "whiney", "snowflakes" and "weak" it is about a desire to exert some sort of dominance. They like to talk about the changes taking away "what made America great", but the irony is in say the 1960's there was someone just like them telling people that everything going on then was robbing America of everything that made it great.
Why does everything have to be right or left?
Why is someone who supported Trumps policies over H. Clinton now a "cult member"?
