the Left's goal with cancel culture is to make it so that literally every Republican voter to the right of Mitt Romney is effectively banished from US political and cultural discourse.

Correct, but it's worse than that. They don't even recognize the legitimacy of Romney's politics right now. They consider him a useful house nigger and appreciate all the knives that he's stuck in the GOP's back but it's not like he's within the Overton window that they're creating out of thin air. They would give Romney and crew along with any Dem to the right of Pelosi and Schumer the rope if they could, a fate which they richly deserve of course. Franky the only reason they accept even Pelosi and Schumer is because they've let the lunatics take over the asylum. An alternate timeline where the Dem establishment tries to be the adult in the room is a timeline where AOC et al torch the party.
