The Left Is Cancelling Dr Seuss

But the comparison is not exactly the same. Almost every issue the conservatives have tried to cancel have failed. Now the issues the right are squealing about getting cancelled are getting cancelled.

So the right is not really upset with "cancel culture". Instead they are pissed about losing.

Society is moving in the wrong direction for them. Gays and transgender people are being accepted. The culture of Muslims and minority races are being respected. Strict Christian rules on sex are being rejected. 

So while both sides try to engage in cancell culture the left generally goes along with the advancement of society while the right fights against it.
