Liberals are calling on their peers to “cancel” TIME Magazine after the publication named President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 “Person of the Year” — a title that has been given to well-known figures regardless of political views or controversy.
“Cancel TIME Magazine,” popular leftist Facebook page “The Other 98%” posted on Saturday, along with the publication’s customer service number:
“Also BLOCK them on ALL social platforms,” a commenter wrote on the post, which garnered nearly 30,000 “likes.”
“I did that yesterday after a 20 year subscription. Felt so good,” another person replied.
