What it REALLY comes down to with this MAGA GQP piece of shit:

"...the big, big question is why are we spending taxpayer dollars to prop up or compete with the private sector and run television stations?"

His piece of shit friends aren't making enough money.

All the detectives on the U.K. shows I would have never seen if it weren't for PBS?

They're gay.

All the astronomers on NOVA?

They're gay.

All the animals on "Nature"? They're gay.

Sir David Attenborough? He's gay.

EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD WHO IS NOT YOU IS GAY, GOV. SHITT, AND WE'RE ALL HAVING MUCH MORE FUN THAN YOU.

Again; these people refuse to accept that LGBTQ+ simply exist. They believe they have to be created through indoctrination and perversion. So theough that framework, even acknowledging The Gaysβ„’ is a type of indoctrination.

β€œβ€¦ let’s teach them to read and their numbers and counting and letters and those kind of things.”

I can’t even. It’s miraculous this potato can string enough words together to form entire sentences. He probably shouldn’t be anywhere near children because he sounds incredibly cavalier about their wellbeing and obviously doesn’t have a clue about education. Wtf does he think Sesame Street does?

For many of them they are just saying and doing whatever it takes to get and retain power.

That's why we've gone in like, 3 years, from trans people not being a national issue to it being a core platform issue for the GOP.

And don't know which is worse, nor do I actually care, they should all fuck off.

"Human kindness? In my children's show?! I won't stand for it!"

Srsly tho the worst thing to happen to Sesame Street is getting paywalled behind a subscription service.

To them a gay couple is an implicit reminder of gay sex, yet a straight couple isn't...?

The Right has been nursing a hard-on for killing PBS for decades, and they have yet to see a doctor. Expect the NEA to reappear as a threat to America (and they’ll still be bashing Mapplethorpe and Serrano, who created a few minor waves some 40 years ago). At least it might prompt renewed interest in their work.

Why the FUCK are these people so fucking SCARED? I thought Jesus and his dad are supposed to protect them.

Maybe Jesus doesn’t want to hang with this barely human garbage either. I can’t blame him. He seemed like a sensitive guy.

They are simply unable to grasp the concept that there is such a thing as a public good--where value is created absent a lowest-common-denominator cash grab; and that there are ideas worth communicating beyond the sales pitch.
