Yeah but it's a fucking kids book

Yeah but they hate books in general

"If those conservatives could read a chapter book, they'd be very upset."

Of course they're mad about kids' books. That's more book than they want to read, and about as much complexity as they can handle. Their brains would break about a book without pictures in it.

I mean it is a picture book their mad at with the lorax 😂. Shocked they don't have the one showing the dangers of hating those different than you on the list

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

Yep, that's the point I'm making. They're mad at a picture book because their thinking isn't any more advanced than a particularly selfish toddler.

I don't know about a kids' book that exemplifies that, but I can recommend a great kids' movie about overcoming fear of people different than you - Pooh's Heffalump Movie. It's got everything - kids willing to make friends while the adults fight, moms bonding over Moms Gonna Mom feats of Protect The Baby, Tigger being Tigger, it's great.

And yeah, if they're mad at picture books, I'm surprised there aren't more kid books about sharing or generally being a good friend on that list for "promoting communism".
