He was beyond being a progressive Democrat. He was a pro-Stalinist. See his WW2 cartoons and statements.

If the cancel people knew this, they would have left him alone.

To be fair, the SJW/Woke/CRT crowd thinks history started about ten years ago. Anything that came before is racist and must be destroyed.

Voting democrat at a greater than 90% clip says otherwise.

If people they vote for happen to be black candidates, then what sense does that still make?

So they're voting based on race?

Interesting.

Not entirely. People vote for those who are most likely to address their issues. Black people aren’t any different in this regard.

Apparently Seuss was transphobic for judging Sneeches for changing their number of stars.

But none of the people they voted for have addressed their issues. For over 50 years.

Can we just stop dancing around the subject and come out and declare every single white person in this country a klan-supporting white supremacist racist bigot nazi that needs to be lined up and shot?

I mean that's where this is heading ultimately anyway.


I think we're just at the beginning. I'm not sure what it's going to look like in 5 - 10 years, but I am predicting violence.

Not everyone that black people have voted for has always won their elections.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They're mostly not human.

Correct. These are the same idiots that want to cancel Abraham Lincoln.

Again, this is about killing off everything "white".

You're not racist if you're a Democrat.

Thats what im saying!!! Most of the characters that I remember were different colors of the rainbow. Thus they are inclusive to those of color.

The Loudon County schools will shift the 'emphasis' of the annual Read Across America day on March 2 away from Seuss and toward books more 'inclusive and diverse and reflective of our student community,' a spokesman said.


Some of what I’m sure they will include in their approved reading list...

And if he didn’t they would cry about him stealing their culture or w/e. This is the exact type of shite that should remind everyone to tell them to frick off from the start

If you were an immigrant to the USA today and wanted to pick up American culture on TV, you would think most of the country is black and gay.
