I’ve yet to personally meet a GenX republican.
They’re out there. Go check out comedians.
“Uhhh, you can’t say anything anymore. PC police will come cancel you.”
No. You suck. Your misogynistic and racist jokes aren’t funny. No one owes you their money.
If those same comedians woke up in the 1980s or 1960s they would still be booed out of venues. They aren't funny. Just not fucking funny at all. Hell even if they went back in time to the 1920s when blackface was 'normal' they would still not be popular since all they would do is make racist jokes for the sake of racism and audiences would not be amused. Not because they wouldn't be racist, but because the jokes just suck.
If the problem is that they aren't funny then why isn't the solution to simply not listen to their jokes?
Because they keep getting multimillion Netflix deals years after being “cancelled”:

No.
