Kliph Nesteroff’s commentary “Cancel culture has always been a problem for comedy” is, ironically, laughable. To equate the almost universal lockdown of any joke that doesn’t pass leftist muster with comedians of the past not being able to swear is ludicrous. Liberal hero Dave Chappelle got away with it. Name another.
Big-name comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock won’t even perform at colleges because of political correctness and cancel culture. When has that ever happened? Political humor is worse. I can’t think of one biting joke aimed at a Democratic politician since Dennis Miller finally gave up.
Whether it’s humor or opinion, today’s Democratic Party leads the charge in stifling dissent of any kind. Diversity in all but thought.
