    Huh, I didn’t think I held many things sacred but using Mr Rodger’s for this kind of got me mad.

      It upsets me, how many people spell his name wrong.

      But Mister Rogers would let it go.

      What do you do with the mad that you feel
      When you feel so mad you could bite?
      When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
      And nothing you do seems very right?
      What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
      Do you pound some clay or some dough?
      Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
      Or see how fast you go?
      It’s great to be able to stop
      When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,
      And be able to do something else instead
      And think this song:
      I can stop when I want to
      Can stop when I wish
      I can stop, stop, stop any time.
      And what a good feeling to feel like this
      And know that the feeling is really mine.
      Know that there’s something deep inside
      That helps us become what we can.
      For a girl can be someday a woman
      And a boy can be someday a man.

    Ok, I understand that this is a shitpost. I also understand that the intent is to be encouraging. I think Mr. Rogers would understand that and perhaps support it. What I really don’t agree with here is mincing the words of probably the only person that the entirety of the US is not only OK with, but supports. In the US, be you Liberal, GQP, or whatever middle or adjacent views you have - this is the most loved person in all of media.

    There are hundreds of quotes from him that anyone with an IQ over 20 universally agree with. I know that this is kind of a rant; but please let his words, and only his words, speak for themselves;
