    You seem very frustrated. Let’s break it down.

    1. Fox News used cancel culture and “wokeism” to get people fired up whether it was through lies or not.

    2. Some people on the left were in fact aggressively calling people out on the right for their wrongdoings and condemning them.

    3. These actions validated Fox News’ assertions of the left’s behavior and elicited fear and shame in people on the right who may feel targeted because of their racism and bigotry.

    4. Donald Trump stood up for the people on the right when other presidential candidates on the left did not.

    5. Donald Trump becomes a hero and is idolized partially due to being a savior to them during a time of “cancel culture”.

    Where we might disagree is #2. If you believe that people were not being canceled and attacked, then no point going any further. That would be strange though since it sounds like you might be in favor of more aggressive approaches.

    Don’t feed the machine. Be smart, compassionate and the hardest part is be patient.
