GOPer Writes Kids’ Book About Cancel Culture And You’ve Never Seen Anything This Cursed | Talking Points Memo

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) wrote a childrens’ book about cancel culture titled “Fame, Blame, and the Raft of Shame,” and now I wish I never learned how to read.

Crenshaw shouldn’t be allowed within 100 yards of a child, much less propagandizing them.

Something tells me that the real author of Crenshaw’s book is Steven Miller…

a culture of canceling eventually cancels culture entirely.

Canceling culture completely cancels culture for kids in cabals.

Oh, and cabbage.

Watch him sell millions.

We are up against a machine, we are up against a racism so deep it would name a US military base after a traitor, then spent all the years since drawing money from the people to build the machine.

We are up against the monster of wealth that squats at the heart of our society, for whom politics is theater. Who still has the money the slaves made, now invested in prisons where blacks work for pennies.

We are up against a practically guaranteed Trump second term, Biden leaving the premises before fraud is discovered, in another attempt to thole what amounts to a blind and voracious monster with God on its side.

This man will have an audience. That audience will have paid Federal employees integrating this into the curriculum for millions of American children.

I always wondered if he really only has one eye or if he just wants to be a pirate.

“While today’s culture presents canceling others’ opinions as the solution to their problems, they don’t realize that a culture of canceling eventually cancels culture entirely.”

When I first read that it cane across as empty psychobabble…it is…but it had a aftertaste to it. That taste is the taste of words that are just fucking silly but written by a hand that thought genius was flowing from its pen. Pseudo-intellectual and self revealing. Guy needs a new gig.

Cancel culture was coined for the media. Designed as a knee jerk objection to objecting to the objectionable. The MSM bought it. As the GOP gets deeper and deeper into the mud their acts become more and more disgusting. But forget that. If you object to racism, sexism or homophobia by walking away from it or not supporting it you’re “cancelling” the person that utters the filth but “cancelling” is now bad ( used to be rejecting ) so it’s YOU not that creep that’s wrong.

This guy’s a dud and the best thing that ever happened to him was a combat wound. He can gravy train it for life.

This is what offends me about this book.

Zero imagination.

Couldn’t cancel the seahorse because he wanted to dress up as a Lion.

Couldn’t cancel the clownfish because she wanted to be serious.

Sheesh.

I’m confused. Are parents now supposed to teach their children that they have to be friends with that kid who is hateful and calls people ugly names? What if the kid hurts people physically? What if she takes your lunch money and says that you’re ugly?
I’m guessing that this isn’t aimed so much at children as it is toward more claims of victimization. I also assume that it is intended as a Christmas gift for everyone’s idiot in-laws.

OT. This is something I wish really happens, we need an airline where rights and liberties are respected, if you want to be vaxed, fine, if not is OK, the same for wearing the seatbelt and smoking. And most important you should not lose your 2nd Amendments rights just because you climb into a an airplane, Heck it would be the last airplane a terrorist would hijack. Lets call it Constitutional Airlines.

An airline for conservatives is the best idea ever. I know that my conservative friends who own businesses think that all federal and state regulations are the most odious example of governmental over-reach ever, and that includes concentration and re-education camps. Running an airline would probably not involve any regulation whatsoever.
