I'm loving people like JK Rowling and Chomsky getting chewed up by the monster they spent decades feeding and pampering.

Rowling's billions can't really be cancelled. She still has the last laugh.

And all this time they thought their biggest worry was Trump and his supporters.

I mean, Trumpists are an issue with or without leftist cancel culture.
