Once upon a time there was a dude with such an attitude and he became a president. Edit: And his story is not over yet. Apparently.

The difference is, in American politics there are two very distinct polarized sides, and the one he was running for doesn't really care about this kind of thing very much. It's much worse when your own side is the one "cancelling" you.

I think that's true and it definitely shows how cancel culture only hurts some people but doesn't hurt others that much depending on their wealth and their influence. That said, really add to the discussion for others who aren't that powerful relatively.

Trump? Clinton? Kennedy? Johnson? I suspect that the shorter list would be the list of non-womanizing presidents.
