Mr Rogers is a TV show made for kids. While it has had its notable moments, it is a show that mostly avoids serious adult topics of the times. Notice I said mostly. And that's exactly how the Biden townhall was, an artificially toned down show made for children, or for those with the mental capacity of children.

I love Mr Rogers - I watched his shows while learning English as a teenager.

Did you watch Biden’s town hall? I have no idea why you would describe it as “an artificially toned down show made for children.”

It wasn’t R-rated, and there wasn’t gleeful talk about assaulting women. But it was s straightforward discussion of policy, appropriate for the event.

Can't believe I have to spell this out. Mr Rogers episodes are highly produced, with predefined topics and little if any challenges between the host and guest. There are no disagreements, no confrontation with opinions from different and competing points of view. This is exactly what the Biden townhall was. As such it is produced for people who are not engaged to expand their understanding, but simply to have their existing bias confirmed.

Wow. I could have sworn that you were describing Fox.

So you are saying that Mr Rogers is like Fox News?

Op, you obviously understand English but either willfully don’t understand nuance so you feel like a master troll or you truly don’t get nuance. I can recommend some great neuropsychologists.

I do not think these people do what you think they do.

They can help diagnose why you miss social cues.

Why? A highly educated, empathetic individual who cared about social justice and educating children? What’s not to love?

Those are negative qualities for Trumpsters.

In a contest of Mr. Rogers vs. Trump Mr. Rogers would win in a landslide.

Wow. He was certainly a lovely man. Tell you what, why don’t you write in your child’s preschool teacher?

Even though Rogers was a Republican, some conservative commentators have seized on his persona as an illustration of the values they oppose. For example, in 2007, Fox & Friends aired a segment that called Rogers an “evil, evil man” for telling children that they were special, thus instilling a generation with an undeserved sense of entitlement. In 2019, Andrew Klavan, a Daily Wire host, also took issue with Rogers by criticizing his gentle demeanor, describing it as “metrosexual wimpiness.” At the same time, Rogers has enjoyed something of a posthumous renaissance, with a 2018 documentary and 2019 feature film stoking nostalgia for his time on the air—and emphasizing exactly the qualities that drew dismissive responses from his critics.

So, though Schlapp’s viral tweet may have seemed like a “self-own” to Biden supporters, it was in fact part of a long history of divisiveness surrounding Rogers. And there’s a good chance that if Rogers were alive today, he wouldn’t have aligned with the values of his longtime political party. In a 2018 Nightline interview, his widow Joanne Rogers said that President Donald Trump’s values are “almost completely opposite” from those of her late husband’s—and that the differences are so extreme, Rogers might have been driven to speak out politically.
“We have somebody leading us right now who is not a forgiver,” she said. “His values are very, very different from Fred’s values.”

I am not sure who the Mercedes person is because I do not watch TV. But I saw this clip and think she sounds stupid. Her comment about puppets? Dumb.
