Regardless of politics, we desperately need people to stand up to the cultural revolution, e.g. "Cancel culture". Suppression of free speech through mob response over every tiny perceived infraction is fine.
Boycotts are fine, but now it's a social media boycott for any infraction. Chic-fil-a, which has absolutely no hiring or discrimination cases or issues, is verboten to liberals b/c the family happens to be religious and doesn't share their views. They don't impose them through the company but that's not good enough.
This is so much like the Cultural Revolution, where now even a Broadway play like Hamilton, praised for its inclusiveness just a couple of years ago, is now in trouble b/c Hamilton the person is now on the burn list.
That more than anything shows how this is so much like a Maoist Communist purge. Hamilton was a darling of the left, and is now in trouble b/c it's not far enough. That is exactly what happened in China, and happens regularly in authoritarian regimes. Same for Abraham Lincoln, who "freed the slaves", and is now villified b/c he didn't conform to a doctrine that didn't exist until 160 years after his death.
