Help me formulate a good argument that cancel culture is not the same thing as our conservative boycott of Bud Light, target and Disney. I don't think they're the same. Cancel culture is opposition to any opposing voice. In my mind our boycotting is not an opposition to alternative viewpoints , but opposition to immoral targeting of children. Thank you.

The boycott in response to Bud Light's outreach to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has had notable staying power. Why it matters: The ferocity of this particular boycott — which has entered its third month of headlines — is due in large part to the brand's misalignment with key consumers, easily accessible competitors and the poor corporate response.

"Second, think about all the people who depend on our company to provide jobs brewing, packaging, and delivering our great...
