Trump is the most high profile user of cancel culture and he is, quite clearly, not the modern left he is more a regressive righty.
PC and cancel culture, what are the pros and cons?

Got any examples of this to back your claim up?
McCarthyism springs to mind.

I can get behind a certain amount of PCness, but cancel culture can **** right off, it is the complete opposite of making society more tolerant.

What I really don't like about "cancel culture" is how damned vicious it is.
Attacking someone's income doesn't necessarily just affect that person. Having them removed them from their job for an opinion could negatively impact their family (if they have one) and I'm pretty sure nobody's kids want to suffer because mum or dad said something that some very vocal sensitive types didn't like.
There's no opportunity for discussion or redemption now on places like twitter, it's just BLEEP! BLOOP! WRONGTHINK ALERT! DESTROY, DESTROY!

Last 4 years of Trump attempting to cancel everyone left, right and centre that disagrees with him or isnt a yes man.
ahh the best type of reply.
That isn't cancel culture, that is just being a **** leader and it's been around forever.
Cancel culture is a student/hipster/luvvie thing. Cancel anyone who doesn't agree with their "progressive" views.

You have to laugh at the comments, The people who are against it actually have something to say and the people for just post snidey little remarks.

Common sense?
Because they have no arguement for it. Basically cancel culture is a way of purging people from jobs and society. The aim is to remove them and make them less successful and thus less able to breed and more likely people with thier views fade away over time. This is a very smart tactic to engineer society.

It may be prevalent in other places but its exactly what Trump has been doing. He is doing it now with Fox News because they predicted Biden won.

you can't campaign for equality in politics where you have two or more opposing sides can you? and we can't have a dictatorship so what's the answer?
Each side has their good and bad points.

Proportional representation.
But that would require fundamental changes to the US government and constitution.
