Has anyone else noticed that when the conversation about cancel culture takes center stage and the cancelers are backed into a corner, the conversation changes?
Take, for example, Clint Cooper’s editorial in Friday’s Times Free Press, which called out a major newspaper chain for dropping a cartoon strip featuring a character with a distinctly conservative voice.
Some people immediately pushed back against what are legitimate questions with their own questions that go in large part: “Gee, in a pandemic, do we really have time to pontificate about cartoon strips and Mr. Potato Head? Is that all you got?”
Maybe not. This is a serious time.
Still, it sure seems that when the topic turns to our ever-growing federal debt and how we are going to pay for a whopper $1.9 trillion relief plan, the talking points abruptly shift to, say, Confederate statues. The left’s own “look over here” move.
