The racist sexist right have been cancelling people quietly all along: it didn’t stop with McCarthy. Ever wondered why bookshelves were so white until the current decade?
That sort of quiet cancellation happens on the left too, e.g. at universities, and in journalism and publishing and the arts.

Or maybe the right has no culture outside of the nostalgia for representational art and didactic literature you find in right wing attempts. The American "left" is right of center by global standards. Is there any surprise it dominates culture just because it is the center?
