Fear of being “canceled” increases with education level, but only for Right-Wingers.
The Democrat increase from high school to post-grad is a minuscule 2%, while Republican post-grads are 35% more likely to fear “cancelation” than Democrat post-grads.
At the peak of McCarthyism, only 13.4% of Americans felt less free to “speak their mind.” As of 2020, this number jumped to 46%.
Assuming that the 13.4% of Americans who feared McCarthyism were Communists or Communist sympathizers, Leftists today fear the “woke” Globalist regime more than they feared McCarthyism.
We’re reaching levels of self-censorship (inflicted by Left-Wing ideological tyranny) only seen under Communist regimes.
