Yep. I'm firnly on the left ideologically, but I would have liked to make the same point (maybe sans the Joy Reid part, but I assume it's a legit one). Cancel culture is a real nuisance and far from just made up, and should SSF ever run out of examples, I'd gladly add a hundred more.


(Of course conservative victimhood is also a thing.)
