When you find yourself on the other side from Big Bird, Mr. Rogers, and Captain America, you need to do some serious reevaluation.
I hope Sesame Street just goes all in, owns this, and has Bert and Ernie get married already. They haven't done a wedding since Maria and Luis in the 80s and we all know those two are banging.
Their marriage hasn't been the same since Bert returned from Vietnam and Earnie gave in to the voices.
A reminder that Fox News was/is actively against Mister Rogers and everything he stood for.

Well some of their Cult Members think Jesus was "woke." I'm not kidding.

I mean, he probably was if we go by what he supposedly stood for. But actually tending to that dichotomy with their shitty world view tends to break their brains.
Yes, he was.
But they don't like that. They want Viking Jesus.
Jesus of Nazareth was a loser, American evangelicals worship the true Lord, Supply-side Jesus!
With the news of younger generations (around the world even) aligning themselves with right wing thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if these icons aren't all labeled as some kind of wimps. To be dunked on all day without really knowing what they're talking about let alone a solution for the things these programs tackled. And, they're letting the worst people destroy it all (some of them are literal rapists)!
That's exactly what's happened. Right Wing grifters on YouTube, like Shapiro, Walsh, Crowder, Rogan, etc., aren't a coincidence, and didn't happen naturally. They were all corrupted by billionaire funded "Think Tanks."
Wasn't Mr. Roger's a green beret in Vietnam though? Wouldn't these people idolize that aspect of him?
Apparently that's a debunked myth. Besides, he was born in 1928 which would have made him old for that war.
None of these things would matter though. A common thread simply seems to be a hatred toward empathy and those who espouse it. These were kind people and worthy causes. Primed to be destroy by these goons.
Oh gotcha! Your comment made me realize I had Mr. Roger's confused with Bob Ross anyway, and was still wrong 😅. Thanks for clearing it up!
He registered for the draft just after WW2, then after a physical was deemed unqualified for service. He graduated college a few years later.
From the start of Vietnam to the end, he was working on a children's show in Pittsburgh, making a show up in Canada that was the precursor to mister Rogers neighborhood, then from 1968 for the next 33 years he was in/running mists Rogers neighborhood.
...he did emerge victorious from the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, though...
No, he wasn't. That's an urban myth.

Oh they're very happy with where they stand.
They want future generations of peasants illiterate, and ignorant.
Bet we hear not a single peep from the “ Don’t cancel my Dr Seuss books” crowd.
You just don't see it in mainstream media, because it's owned by billionaires.
When will people learn that they don’t care and have no shame.
