Bette Midler FTW: Hey Teenagers, Read This

18. Of Course It's On Their List!

We can't show how badly we treated our own people during the Great Depression, donchaknow! Besides, there's the violence at the end where George shoots Lennie in the back of the head. Can't have kids reading about that!

We also can't have them playing violent video games! Grand Theft Auto will turn the kids into thugs and gangsters. And, we can't have the kids watching Looney Toons, either! They might try to blow each other up with dynamite or shoot each other in the face (a la Bugs, Daffy & Elmer Fudd).

BUT! We can let the kids watch all kinds of horror movies and action movies with guns and killings and other violence! Especially war movies. War movies are great! Anything that glorifies the military is awesome!!* (snark, by the way)

Ahh, the hypocrisy of the Radical Reichwing. It's enough to make you 🤢🤮

*Just for the record, I don't have a problem with the US Military, our service members or our veterans: It's an honorable way to serve the country and an honorable career. My grandfather was a B-25 pilot in WWII and continued to serve in the USAF-Reserves after the war, and several other great uncles served during and after the war in other branches. So, I have a healthy respect for our service members. My problem is with fetishizing the military like the GOPQ does.
