Summary
Ronald A. Lindsay argues that many on the MAGA right who once decried "cancel culture" now embrace similar tactics when it targets their opponents. While private campaigns to silence speakers were troubling, Lindsay contends that the Trump administration's use of government power to pressure universities, media outlets, and even members of Congress represents a far more dangerous threat.
