Once again you're not being truthful. "The right" tried to cancel Elen in 1997 when she came out as gay, They tried to cancel The Chicks, formerly the Dixie Chicks, all the way back in 2003. They tried to cancel the name French Fries around the same time. LOL Trump's Cult of Ignorance tried to cancel the NFL in 2016, Nike shortly after that, Dicks Sporting Goods in 2018, etc.

The myth that the right cancels as much as the left
While mainstream America may associate cancel culture with woke progressives exiling those who cross lines newly drawn in the sand, left-leaning commentators want to let you know it’s as much a problem if not worse on the right. The facts are not on their side.

But in the real world today, the actual threat of being canceled is far stronger coming from the left than the right.
It is left-of-liberal progressives and their obsession with hurt feelings who have weaponized language to shrink the parameters of acceptable speech, and who insist that non-prescribed words amount to violence against “oppressed” groups.
And it is disagreement on subjects most important to them, like race and gender, that most often end in canceling.
