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?
Nah, cancel culture was and should always mean "getting fired for legal behaviour outside of work". Unless you are committing criminal or damaging acts, you shouldn't have to worry about losing your livelihood. Even then, as they often do, criminals should be able to earn a living after time served.
AKSHULLY, it is not legal to promote violence against political opponents. It's not protected speech.
So yeah, we're getting people fired for ILLEGAL behavior outside of work lol. We're actually more in the right because we have the law backing us. Fighting words and direct calls for violence is not constitutionally protected speech. That's why some of these "but muh principles" fags don't get - 1) we're holding them to their standards and 2) our standards are actually pretty fucking low because we're simply telling them NOT to commit crimes or say speech that is not constitutionally protected.

Exactly. We aren't engaging in cancel culture. They are facing consequences for violent speech.
