“While online shaming may seem like a major preoccupation for the public if you spend a lot of time on Twitter, only 40% of voters say they have participated in cancel culture and only one in 10 say they participate ‘often.’” - Politico

“It probably is not coincidence that Americans got very serious about the spectacle of the wedding right around the same time they began giving up on the idea of marriage. ‘Until death do us part’ is tough, but a ‘big day’ we can still manage. All you need is bad taste and money.” - Kevin Williamson

“I know full-well that there is nothing original about observing that many Americans have transformed politics into a religion. The phrase ‘Great Awokening’ is a direct callback to arguably the most significant Christian religious revival of our nation’s past. It’s not original, nor is it surprising.
