    1. We can argue about dubious cases of cancel culture, but can we agree that people who participate in mob that storms the capitol building with an intent to thwart a legitimate vote is worthy of cancelling?https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1347241130862268420 …

        2. Josh Hawley is also facing, as he calls it, cancel culture: i.e. civic rejection & rebuke not just from his publisher but from quite conservative political mentor, financial backer & local newspaper.https://twitter.com/ErinMcPike/status/1347394192457297921 …

        3. One way to think about this is that there are both legal remedies (which can apply to Trump and to the people who broke into the Capitol building) but also a broader set of civil society remedies involving ostracism (which apply to enablers).

        4. We're going to see a fair bit of ostracism in the weeks & months ahead. The thing to keep in mind is that it's a perfectly legitimate way to address norm-breaking without relying on the blunt force of the law. My case for it here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-coup-riot-congress/ …

        He didn't have to join in the storming of the Capitol and he wasn't fired for going to the rally. Show me someone who was and I'll call that out.

        Political correctness gone mad if you can’t even participate in an attempted coup.

        Is it really “cancel culture” to face consequences for criminal actions? My employee handbook clearly states I can be fired for such activity. Book contracts can include cancel clauses if the author becomes a liability

        Like I tell my 6 year old all the time, there are often natural, rational, consequences to your actions. If you act like an asshole people will treat you like an asshole (I don’t say it that way to my 6 year old obv)
