I much prefer the term consequence culture. For far too long, some people have gotten away with saying and doing terrible things without any consequences. We sometimes assume it's only famous people who get away with stuff, but, I'm sure we all know one or more insufferable people who seem to lead a "charmed life", getting away with being just an asshole, for whatever reason. One thing that 45 did, was bring that into very sharp focus, and collectively, the majority of us, at the same time said, enough. With all of the right's whining about not being able to freely and unapologetically be assholes, it's hard for me to figure out how the left got stuck with the title of Snowflakes. It's actually quite pathetic to watch. As if to solely prove our point, they've decided that this is the most pressing issue in the country right now, like nothing else matters except their comfort level. Forget the pandemic, the economy, climate change, systemic racism, etc. All that matters to them is themselves. But we knew that already.

It's only "cancel culture" if they're the ones being cancelled, not if they are doing it.
