It looks as though Florida Republicans are turning cancel culture against itself. State Senator Blaise Ingoglia (R) has introduced the "Ultimate Cancel Act" that would effectively rule the Democratic Party in Florida defunct due to its previous support of slavery in the Civil War.
According to WESH, this bill would "immediately cancel the filings of a political party, to include its registration and approved status as a political party, if the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude."
Because of this, voters registered as Democrats would be relabeled as having no party affiliation.
Furthermore, this does not mean that Florida Democrats could reorganize as a new party, only with a different name.
Sen. Ingoglia says this bill is effectively the end result of how cancel culture operates, given previous examples of buildings being renamed and statues torn down due to their associations deemed "problematic."
As such, "it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason," Ingoglia adds.
