This is a good point. Then again, the ideologies they're fighting as "divisive" have been pushing the position that some ideas can be harmful. So it seems like their own rhetoric is now being used against them, and if they don't like it, maybe they should rethink their own positions on this particular issue.

Make no mistake, it's always been about whose ideas should prevail.

"Cancel culture" is not a one-sided phenomenon.

But, pushing back against it is an effective way to silence demands for consequences.
