As the National Book Awards came to a close on Wednesday, finalists for the prestigious literary prizes took the stage in New York to speak about the Israel-Hamas war, with others at the ceremony also choosing to address banned books.

How sad that it’s come to this. On the other hand, maybe if Mr. Rogers was still around, we’d have someone to talk to Republicans about kindness.
Republicans have tried demonizing him as woke trying to indoctrinate our children. So unfortunately unlikely.
The irony is, he is woke. Dude was literally Kunta Kinte.
Fred Rogers is the guy this particular thread of the post is referring to. He would have made an interesting casting choice for Kunta Kinte.
They would call him too woke.
Fox News called him evil, so… at least he’s not woke.

Ah yes the Presbyterian minister who devoted his life to teaching kids we should Love Thy Neighbor and it’s ok to have feelings.
Of course the fake ass Christians hate him. They’d call Jesus a longhaired communist if he came back today.
They wouldn’t listen to him, and would call Mr. Rogers woke trash. The current Republican Party and its supporters are a hot mess.
Depending on how you define “modern” Fox News did call him evil in 2007.

There is also that whacko on Newsmax that calls
the MuppetsSesame Street a bunch of evil communists.This is him when he was on Fox but he has ranted about wanting to debate that well known commie Big Bird a couple times while on Newsmax.

To be clear: this man wants to debate a fictional character on a beloved children’s TV show and Fox and Newsmax continued to employ him.
Haha, what even is this timeline?
I need The Muppet-churian Candidate… Oooh and Dr. Strangemuppet!
I did not know about this one.
How far gone does one have to be that saying this on TV is not only okay, but encouraged?
I forgot about this.
