If the right were getting people fired for perfectly ordinary left-wing opinions supported by a majority of people, that might count as cancel culture. Like "I support single-payer health care" or "ban assault weapons [sic]".
Getting people fired for advocating the assassination of a president, whether it is right or wrong, is not 'cancel culture'. Who here would be surprised or outraged if a company fired someone for publicly advocating the killing of Joe Biden?
"Cancel culture" is the attitude, not the actions, I'd say.
Hunting someone down and getting them fired is cancel culture.
Note I'm not even saying it's wrong for something this extreme, but I do think it is completely within the definition of "cancel culture."
Lady got hunted down IRL and then fired for things she'd said online, because people didn't like what she'd said. Again, to be clear, not defending her. I enjoyed the public shaming greatly, in fact.
By that definition, there's always been cancel culture though. If everything is X, then nothing is X.
