Wasn't sure where to put this, but we need a thread for the wing nuts. Lauren Boebert.

She’s practically begging someone to do the attack:

Psst! Marge! We've been getting terrorist attacks consistently over the past few years. You probably don't know about them because they're
A: Perpetrated by MAGAts and
B: Targeting power substations

Here are some random MAGA nuts comments.

How do some of these people get dressed in the morning and then hold a job?

Yeah, I have no clue.

Man, MS13 AND ISIS? man, talk about some crazy planning having MS13, ISIS, FBI, ANTIFA and BLM all in on one thing and be so good at it, no one even knew they were really there. That means they made fake Facebook and Twitter accounts a decade ago and started posting Republican stuff way before anyomne even knew it was coming our way.. thats some state of the art planning right there...

It's not that hard.

They just stopped off in their time travel on their way back to fake Obama's Hawaiian birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper

Are you the kind of parent who is afraid that Big Media is attempting to brainwash your child, or make him feel bad about slavery, or teach him that gay people are human beings? Conservative media organization the Daily Wire is here for you. Last week, the company launched Bentkey, a streaming network of children’s entertainment for, in the words of Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, “Americans who believe in basic reality.”

Boreing has pitched Bentkey as a direct response to Disney’s perceived sins of wokeness, and in fact he made a point of launching the channel on Disney’s 100th anniversary. “Walt Disney loved America,” Boreing writes, but “the company he founded seems to think America is systemically racist.” Bentkey, he declares, is an attempt to save America’s children from the company that is attempting “to indoctrinate those children into the LGBTQIA cult.”

So what does a conservative children’s network look like? How do you create “the next generation of timeless stories that transport kids into a world of adventure, imagination and joy” but also make sure it doesn’t seem like Disney? Visit Bentkey’s site or download the app, and it looks quite a bit like every other collection of children’s TV on the internet. (There’s no mission statement proclaiming “traditional American values” or even any Daily Wire branding anywhere on the Bentkey portal.)

But spend a few days sampling Bentkey’s programming—including the four series, so far, produced by the company—and you might pick out a few subtle notes cluing you in that something a little different is going on here.

For example, there’s what appears to be—at least from its primacy atop the app’s home screen—Bentkey’s pride and joy, the animated Chip Chilla. Put simply, Chip Chilla is Bentkey’s attempt to do an American version of Bluey, the critical darling of contemporary children’s entertainment, which streams on Disney+. As in the Australia-set Bluey, we have a nuclear family of animals (chinchillas, not dogs) living in a beautiful house, playing elaborate, imaginative games with the help of a clever, caring father and mother. Even the color palette looks like Bluey’s, though Chip himself is maybe two shades of blue darker than Bluey is.

But the action in Bluey is driven primarily by the children’s imaginations—Bluey and Bingo put their parents through their paces, making them pretend to be on an island, act out a visit to a hair salon, or spray an actual hose in their own face. As Phillip Maciak wrote in Slate, “When the games begin, Mum and Dad are entirely at the bidding of their children.”

In Chip Chilla, conversely, it’s the parents—specifically dad Chum Chum, voiced by red-pilled former Saturday Night Live comedian Rob Schneider—who drive the action, because the kids in Chip Chilla are being home-schooled. So when Chip pretends to be an astronaut, or his big sister Charla becomes a reporter for the Chilla Times, it’s because fun-loving Chum Chum has told them to do so. (Mom Chinny, played by anti-vax former Broadway actress Laura Osnes, might get more to do in later episodes, but for now she’s mostly sneaking cookies and pretending to be the Chilla Times’ brassy receptionist. “What do I know, I’m just a secretary,” she says, filing her nails.) The result is that while Bluey feels a little like magic, Chip Chilla—though it has a fast pace and some good jokes—feels like school, since that’s exactly what it is for these kids.

Is it Republican? Not particularly. Chum Chum delivers a little riff on press responsibility that wouldn’t be out of place on the Daily Wire: “Real news isn’t just any bad thing you see,” he tells Charla. “That’s just tattling.” But really, they’re just kids learning things in a very traditionally gendered household, which I guess in the current climate may feel Republican to some people. I guess we’ll see what happens if the Chilla kids meet any friends with two moms..............

For though I strove mightily to find political messaging in Bentkey’s lineup, I must admit that Boreing’s assertion that “Bentkey isn’t about teaching kids politics” is more or less correct. Some of the shows, not all, may be square or retrogressive, but none is overtly political. I wonder, though, if Bentkey’s target audience—hyperfocused as it has been trained to be (by outlets like the Daily Wire!) on the hidden messages in children’s entertainment—will reach the same conclusion. Will snowflake-disparaging Daily Wire readers turn off Jasmine & Jambo at the appearance of its initial trigger warning (for viewers with photosensitivities)? Will America First Republicans embrace tender Ernest & Celestine, which proudly proclaims at the top of each episode that it was partially funded by the European Union? Isn’t Mabel Maclay’s charming, walkable neighborhood part of the global elites’ “15-minute city” plot?

And for that matter, where does Chum Chum get off encouraging Chip Chilla to be kind and let baby Chubbly go first because she never gets a chance? Sounds like socialism, with a side of social-emotional learning, to me. Bentkey isn’t terrible, or at least isn’t more terrible than any other assemblage of children’s programming. But I’ll be very curious to see if the children’s network founded for the express purpose of eschewing wokeness can survive the current right-wing vogue for seeing wokeness everywhere—even when what they’re seeing is really just simple human kindness.............

The Right Wing Just Made a Conservative Disney+. I Watched It So You Don’t Have To.

The Daily Wire made its own Bluey and ... Mister Rogers?

Why hasn’t this guy been recalled to active duty and court-martialed?

While there are Christian idiots out there who do stuff like this, they're thankfully decidedly not the norm.

Also, I've never seen a sign like that in any of the neighborhoods I've lived in. And we've lived in a LOT of neighborhoods in several different states.

Usually, if you don't want kids trick or treating at your house, just make sure the porch or front door lights are out. Most families families will skip a house with the lights out.

To be fair, that isn’t really a Christian message as much as a MAGA one. I don’t recall Jesus railing against “free loaders” and telling children to “get a job” if they want candy, lol.

yea, there really isn't MAGA who is truly Christian. Jesus would not portray the message they spread..
