    For the last decade, leftists have said "cancel culture isn't a thing, but if it was, it's good," or "it's not cancel culture, it's accountability culture." After the near-assassination attempt of Donald Trump over the weekend, progressives everywhere are sitting in HR offices and being told to pack their belongings over troubling social media posts. Tony Mazur says it's time for non-leftists to stop taking the high road and get wishing for the shooting death of a political figure a taste of their own medicine.   Tony also touches on how it is a mainstream belief that Trump staged this attack, and that it would be a net good if the shooter finished the job. Joe Scarborough and Joe Biden still accept no responsibility for what occurred over their dangerous rhetoric, and progressives are back to calling him Hitler and an existential threat.   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10 has all of the above, as well as bonus podcasts per week.
