Here’s how bad it has gotten. In a small Republican-leaning town, in a Trump +20 county, the local library board felt free to
“disinvite” from speaking a mainstream conservative author with a dozen C-SPAN Book-TVs under his belt.
That author happens to be me. I had been reading about cancel culture for years, but I had never experienced it firsthand. Given the intimacy of a small-town environment, I have been able to document in detail how the whole process played out. As I learned, there is a banality to this kind of soft-core silencing that makes it even more insidious than an outright ban by hard-core censors.
