I read once that the turning point for Salem was when someone accused the colonial governor's wife. Suddenly, things started getting shut down.

I would have thought JK Rowling was the modern day equivalent. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be the case.

It would need to be someone high up in woke left politics.

It already happens with certain individual issues. Trudeau couldn't be cancelled for blackface, Corbyn couldn't be cancelled for antisemitism. They need to go hard with all guns blazing on someone like that.
