    dr seuss is not a part of cancel culture. but republicans know their viewers/readers are too interested in being outraged than dealing with facts. 

    it's amazing to me the party that keeps claiming day in and day out about liberals being snowflakes, and all these fucking pricks do is whine about their racism and privilege being taken away from them. 
    By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.

    White grievance is about all the GOP has to sell these days, and people are buying in bulk.

    "Weird" of the publisher to not just update the books... maybe they are not "allowed" by the estate?

    They "famously" changed the n-word in Pippi Longstocking over here.

    And in the childrens book "Alfons Åberg (Alfie Atkins)" the author/illustrator herself changed a glass of lemonade on the nightstand to water a couple of years back.

    If Geisel himself made similar changes in the 80's I doubt its a condition of the estate that they must remain unchanged, but who knows.
    These are not The Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop or Horton Hears The Who Live at Leeds, they are not the top selling Seuss books, so maybe the estate figured just stop publishing rather than altering them.

    Ah, okey I have not grown up with Dr Seuss so I don't know how to tier his books.. I don't even know if those books are popular here. 

    I always have wanted to watch the Mike Myers movie though for some odd reason, but haven't yet. And I think Tay-tay voices a character in the CG animated Horton Hears The Who Live at Leeds.

    I used to like that one and Yertle the Turtle. But I think my fave is the Lorax.

    Wait just a darn minute here - first he says they cannot take those things. Alright, he’s full of piss and vinegar, though I’d put money on his not possessing any form of Potato Head. But fine, Chalk it up to childish anger. 

    But then he turns around and offers up those things and it’s okay because he’ll eat the non-pulled subjects in his truck?

    So happy to never have heard or having to hear the term "AR15" used. 

    Here it's all about "Should we give more money to the elderly and health care or not".

    Republicans are so mad at the Dr Seuss people for cancelling those 6 books they’re *checks notes* buying all the Dr Seuss books they can sending revenues soaring.   :D
