Democrats are furious. They shouldn’t be.

Underwood, ideally, should be free to perform wherever she pleases, and to make music as she sees fit, without her audience or the wider public transforming her actions into a petty, partisan fight. To do so is a tiresome and near-vestigial remnant of the censorious, cancellation-addled culture that has defined our last decade. We are better than this.

However, she should have the freedom to perform wherever she chooses without her actions becoming a partisan issue. </p><p>This reaction reflects a troubling trend of censorship and cancel culture that has emerged in recent years. Society should rise above such divisive responses. #culture</p>
