The "Cancel Culture" is not a group of people. Instead, it's an unethical state of mind. It's an abusive reaction to someone else's differing opinions.

The "Cancel Culture" is something we need to oppose at every turn, especially on the state and local levels. Because we cannot allow intolerance and narrow-mindedness to harm people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.
