I'm in general very liberal, but I do think things have gone too far with cancel culture and students on college campuses trying to restrict speech/remove the right to speak from conservative voices. I understand cancelling repeat offenders like Trump who says and does inflammatory things all the time. I personally won't see any movie Mel Gibson has any part in because he has proven what a POS he is. But students trying to get professors fired for even mentioning conservative ideas is too much. Colleges should be a place for exploring ideas from across the spectrum, including ideas that you might find offensive. At some point, we need to come out of our ideological silos and discuss the merits of ideas from people who we aren't always in lockstep with. So in that sense, I understand the backlash again "wokism" to some degree. But the term obviously gets over-applied by red state folks like DeSantis and Trump.
