Miss Rachel must be protected at all costs, she is the inheritor of the mantel of Fred Rogers

That's a great way to put it.

She also provides the most simple living reminder of how just weird and psychopathic the right is, and how much the Overton window has shifted since Mr. Rogers. "Don't kill children," "give children food," "give children medical care," "keep children safe" equals "radical leftist" if you go by the right's echo chamber, which is just...actually insane.

Everyday I’m so glad that Mr Rogers never had to see the world we now live in, it would break his heart and that man deserved nothing of the sort

He was around during the Vietnam war, he could handle it.

I know he could, I am just glad he didn’t need to

Remember the right thinks they’re protecting children, too. From drag queens, LGBTQ+, atheism or any other religion outside their echo chamber, brown people, and all other “threats” that aren’t White, straight and Christian like they are.

Better for a child to starve, lack medical care and be homeless than see a drag queen.

Conservatives called him evil, too.

Ms. Rachel FTW

Just a woman who wanted to make fun videos for kids online now having to step up and advocate for children being starved and/or slaughtered both at home and abroad.

I praise her valiant efforts.

Ms. Rachel is going to enter the hallowed halls of pop culture saints.

Betty White, Dolly Parton, Mr. Rogers, etc.

I got divorced from my exwife after I commented that I found Mrs. Rachel attractive. True story. Also, she's a national treasure.
