Two Kentuckians used Night Two of the Republican National Convention to hit a theme that will drive a backlash against the Democrats this fall, second only to appeals to law and order.

The backlash will be against “cancel culture” and its close cousin “enforced expression,” both of which involve mobs trying to dictate opinion by telling people either what they cannot say or what they must espouse. To be fair, both sides are, to some extent, guilty of both sins. But with the leftist street mobs and the establishment media both extravagantly attacking conservatives (and centrists) in these ways, the backlash will redound to the benefit of Republicans, against the so-called progressive party Democrats.
