How the Grinch Blew Up The Nuclear Family
Conventional grooming is obvious, but beware of clandestine attacks from the woke special forces. Plus, learn how to enlist in the resistance.
War used to be simple.
We swung swords, packed muskets, and, more recently, fired upon each other from above.
However, covert operations globally expanded since WW2 with special forces and cyber warfare.
And you can find similar comparisons in the culture war, such as this new Cocomelon episode with a biracial gay couple dressing up a little boy in girl clothes.
This, along with books like Gender Queer and drag queen story time, are the cultural Howitzer’s and Predator drones, pun intended, aimed at our kids.
And such material is easy to identify.
So when my three-year-old asked to watch Illumination Presents: Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, I checked the trailer and the production year, which was 2018.
The coast seemed clear, so I grabbed a beer.
That’s when I noticed the woke special forces at work beneath the surface.
(Warning: spoilers ahead)
The Secret Tactics of The Woke Special Forces
I didn’t catch everything initially, but I noticed more cultural messaging after my daughter forced me to re-watch the film like a Jeffrey Dahmer victim.
Given that the original Dr. Suess children’s book was only 64 pages, mainly consisting of pictures, the filmmakers had space to fill to make it a feature-length production.
But the basic story remains constant: The Grinch ruins Christmas for everyone in ‘Whoville’ by dressing up as Santa Claus and stealing everyone’s gifts and trees because he had a bad childhood experience with the holiday as an orphan.
During his rash of home invasions, a young girl, Cindy Lou Who, catches him stealing her Christmas tree, and the imposter tells her he was only taking it to repair a few broken lights.
Assured, she goes back to bed.
After returning to the top of Mt. Crumpit to dump the gifts and garland, the Grinch hears the townsfolk singing in the distance, convincing him that Christmas isn’t about presents.
Then, the humbled Grinch returns the gifts to town.
Suspicious Filler
In the 2018 adaptation, when Cindy Lou surprises The Grinch mid-burglary, she tells him she doesn’t want gifts but wants to help her mother, who works all night and takes care of three kids all day because there is no father to speak of.
And they never address his whereabouts.
You could argue the film sought to remind us that some families aren’t complete, and that’s one thing.
But if so, then why not explain the missing parent?
Did he die?
Is he an astronaut?
Is he in federal lockup for walking into the capitol building after a police officer let him in?
Of course, The Grinch isn’t the first film to normalize divorce.
Since before Mrs. Doubtfire, more films include separated parents as the norm instead of a circumstance to resolve.
As Whoville Turns
OK, the parents are divorced, and they ignore the father’s existence.
It’s not the craziest thing we’ve seen.
But what about Cindy’s twin brothers?
Cindy Lou shares her mother's features, such as straight blonde hair and blue eyes.
Her siblings, Bean and Buster-not so much.
They look more like Mr. Bricklebaum, a plump and jolly local The Grinch hates.
Look at the hair, skin color, and facial structure compared to Cindy Lou and Donna:
What does this add to the story? Is there more than one missing father? Have I seen this too many times?
There’s nothing wrong with interracial couples or biracial children, but the representation we see in film, TV, and advertisements doesn’t match reality.
Bonus: A Subtle and Presumably Inadvertant Argument Against Sex Changes
After returning the gifts and Christmas trees to Whoville, The Grinch announces:
“I stole it because I thought it would fix something that happened long ago. But it didn’t. I’m sorry.”
It’s an unfortunate lesson learned by many young people who seek “gender-affirming care” to fix something from their past.
Unlike the Grinch, their actions can’t be reversed.
Join The Resistance
These Hollywood tactics have gone a long way with little competition.
That's changing with apps like Bentkey, The Daily Wire’s kid-friendly, woke-free streaming service.
Naturally, the establishment fired back when the New York Times criticized Bentkey’s Chip Chilla, an animated series starring familiar voices like Rob Schneider, Jeremy Boreing, and Matt Walsh.
Times writer Amanda Hess criticized the program for having a “weirdly present” father figure and called the show out of touch, “teaching lessons about dead white people.”
Those “dead white people” are George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Neil Armstrong.
We used to call those history lessons.
But it’s a blessing in disguise.
The establishment has competition. They know it, and their air raid sirens are blaring.
To join the fight, head over to Bentkey for a 2-week trial, or consider becoming a Daily Wire+ member.
