The first day of the Republican National Convention featured speeches from a variety of politicians and public figures, a number of whom spoke about the dangers of so-called cancel culture.

Polling indicates that this issue could be ripe for Republicans.

Over half (56%) of Americans think that cancel culture — defined as a form of boycott in which an individual (usually a celebrity) who has said something that offends some people is called out and shunned — in the United States is a very big (28%) or somewhat big (28%) problem, according to a July 2020 survey from Yahoo News and YouGov.
