Former President Donald Trump will be president once again. As that's leaving millions of Americans relieved, it's leaving others perplexed.

Trump lost the presidential race in 2020 after his first term. Many in America, at the time, figured he'd be "canceled" after the Jan. 6 insurrection or in the years that followed as he faced a slew of legal issues and made headline-worthy controversial statements. Trump is a convicted felon who has been accused of sexual misconduct by 19 women; his racially charged rhetoric has been largely panned; and his former chief of staff said Trump spoke positively of Hitler. No matter your political leaning, we can all agree plenty of mainstream figures have been "canceled" over less. But a large swath of the electorate rejected political correctness in favor of promises about the economy and immigration. So is cancel culture itself... well, canceled?

An X user wrote: "This election was a complete rejection of the Democrat party platform in all respects. We are FREE. We must speak out about voting for Trump and what we stand for. No more cancel culture!" "Trump's win already healing the nation, the light is shining down revealing how ridiculous cancel culture is," another added.
