| | Unfair examples of cancel culture within conservative circles include the cases of [[Todd Akin]] and [[Steve King]]. More justified examples include a loose cluster of [[movement conservative]]s, [[right-wing populist]]s, and civic [[nationalist]]s, who had previously grouped together under the term "alt-right," until morality forced them to condemn the numerous [[white nationalist]]s and other extremists who were carrying the "alt-right" label. As they became increasingly outspoken against the white supremacists, they were arbitrarily nicknamed by the latter, "alt-lite." They subsequently adopted the term "new right." The new right repeatedly condemned [[racism]], [[anti-Semitism]], [[xenophobia]], and all other forms of bigotry in no uncertain terms. | | Unfair examples of cancel culture within conservative circles include the cases of [[Todd Akin]] and [[Steve King]].
