I spent some time with Trump family this past weekend, too. We engage but we don't fight, and I don't care about them any less since Trump became president. I think the problem is that people have all sorts of reasons for voting Trump that don't have anything to do with Nazism. The trouble is that they can't be convinced that the white supremacists are a core constituency of his, and that supporting him is supporting them too. But it's just not that important to them, and there's no amount of convincing we can do to change that. But I totally and completely disagree that "canceling" is, at its core, about just not liking someone. It's about thought policing for purity. This type of thought regulation has a long history (goes back at least to a French philosopher whom Marx cited a lot called Helvetius), and the idea is that if you can get people to change their behavior via law (or de facto law, in the case of the Internet), then you can eventually alter their morality. Basically you Stockholm syndrome them into acting a certain way. It's more or less why art and literature were so heavily regulated in the Eastern Bloc. I fundamentally believe that there are not any ideas that are too dangerous to talk about--as ideas in an open marketplace. The Holocaust didn't happen because Mein Kampf got published. It's in print here in the US, and I read it years ago...I still have two little Jewish babies running around my house. This is as close to saying anything controversial as I'll probably say on the internet, because I'm not into Internet fights as a way of life, but the Twitter mobs are playing with fire they don't fundamentally understand. Vote, please. For the love of God vote.Also, I have personal issues such as the nice weekend with my aunt and uncle who are Trumpers. We discussed politics, but it never got ugly, and I love them. I’m all about canceling Trump, but I can love his followers. I need to be careful not to be a hypocrite.
