Rand Paul’s Trying to “Cancel” Coca Cola.
Apparently “cancel culture” is only an issue when it comes to Dr. Seuss.
Through recent years in particular, as their popularity on the national level continues to dissipate while the country grows more diverse and liberal minded, conservatives have been making increasingly more desperate attempts to remain relevant and keep their power. The blatant efforts of voter suppression in Georgia certainly come to mind when one considers the depths Republicans will go in order to preserve the institutions that have allowed them to keep office rather than adapting to changing times. But culture war arguments have also been a tried and true tactic for Republicans to continue to deflect from their actions, and the fact that they have absolutely nothing remotely substantive to offer the average American voter that would improve their material condition.
One of the most recent Republican lawmakers to engage in the culture war arguments, and “cancel culture” in particular is Kentucky’s Senator Rand Paul. Following the signing into law of Georgia’s voter suppression law, businesses like Coca Cola expressed their “disappointment”, with CEO James Quincey calling it “unacceptable”. In response, Senator Paul went on Fox News to argue that “if Coca Cola is going to boycott us, why don’t we boycott them?”
