Businesses that f.I. displays Trump trash as their right of expression loses my financial support as my right of expression in response. That's how it works, as neither of us are a Federal entity subject to the 1st Amendment restrictions.

Pardon me for refusing to follow your 'disinformation is free speech' flock.

Again;
"Cancel culture" is simply accountability in action. When a business excersize it's 1sy amendment right to present support for causes I find objectionable, I exercise mine by not giving them financial support with my patronage. That's how accountability works, actions have reactive consequences.
Individuals and privately held enterprises are not Federal entities subject to the 1st Amendment restrictions. An individual or commercial business may take a stand, but should expect to deal with reactive consequences.
Try reading the first sentence of the 1st amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
That's our boy. Mister "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit" except nobody here but MAGAmorons is buying it.
