Congratulation, Basket of

. You did this.

You killed the thing that gave you and your children American Experience, Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, Nova (fucking NOVA!), Frontline, Reading Rainbow, This Old House, Nature, Masterpiece Theater, Zoom, and so much more. Because you didn't like that it wouldn't promote batshit right-wing ideology.

So congrats, you fascism-supporting basket of deplorables. And fuck you. Every last one of you MAGA fucks.

For those who weren't of voting age in 2016:

"... you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks, they are irredeemable..."

I'm not some big Hillary Clinton fan, but she' was right and every day since has continued to prove it.

Also Nature, Frontline, The Joy of Painting, America's Test Kitchen, Rick Steves' Europe, and so much more.

I hate every single one of them (including you, J! Fuck you! You voted for this shit.).

Before I had made exceptions for the dullards who didn't know what they were doing, but I hate them all without exception now.

Fortunately, the end of the CPB doesn't mean the end of PBS or NPR. NPR gets less than 2% of their funding from the federal government, and PBS only around 15%.
