    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me

    So, exactly how have you been “canceled”? Note: Disagreeing with you does not equal cancellation

    Take heart, Carmen. Star Trek was cancelled in 1969, but it certainly hasn’t disappeared.

    No one has been “cancelled”, people are just voting with their feet. Every time someone does something that others judge unacceptable others make a choice about whether they wish to continue associating with that person. Whether it is something they say or something they do, whether they say slavery was no big deal or Trump is a jerk, other people make a decision whether to keep their association. “Cancelling” is nothing more than propaganda.

    Look up the word boycott,(which is the real strategy being used both to and by the Right) Very enlightening.“We ain’t buying, what you’re selling.”

    The big lie republican cancel culture cancelled Carmen because she told the truth.

    One thing that I totally fail to understand in todays strip is Carmen’s remark in panel #2. Exactly how is it Winslow’s responsibility to do anything? It was her own team(MAGAts and GQP) that cancelled her. I see nothing anywhere that says Democrats should be responsible for the actions of the GQP. That Stantis even makes his GQP Character claim that the Liberal character has the responsibility to fix what is strictly an internal GOP problem is, in and of itself, totally absurd

    “There is an answer Winslow. All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes – all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and remember, not only in the Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God’s Earth.”

    You can tell Li’l Mouthpiece has been canceled because she just keeps talking without any impediment.

    By the way, what has she been canceled for? Did she suggest slavery wasn’t so bad? Did she say that trans people should be treated as second-class citizens? Did she trivialize the Holocaust by comparing it to comment section slapfights?
