Majority of Americans Believe ‘Cancel Culture’ a Threat to Freedom

by Nate Church

A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll released Monday suggests the next thing Americans want to “cancel” is the trend itself.

The poll, released to The Hill, shows increasing fatigue with the social media-fueled drive to “cancel” celebrities and public figures. Sixty-four percent of respondents said the cultural boycotts posed a threat to freedom in the U.S., while 36 percent disagreed. And while conservatives were more dominant in this opinion — 80 percent to 20 percent — the subject has divided Democrats as well.
