Every time I read "He was a communist, Elmo." I can help but just laugh, it's just hilarious.

Yeah, MLK Jr was pretty clear about his position when he said that communism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. He was a socialist, which is a different thing. But let's pretend that he said socialist instead of communist... Wouldn't that make you kinda curious to know the details of what socialism is then? Because everybody says that King was a great man and helped achieve racial equality, so his ideology must not be as evil as everybody says, right?
So if you're young and maybe not super aware of politics and civics and everything, and you see this tweet in response to a general "Happy MLK Jr Day" tweet from Elmo, you're gonna have questions and your Google results are gonna lead you to answers that reveal what a fucking clown show the John Birch society is.
It's petty, it's factually inaccurate, and if chases young people to your opposition's ideology. Plus picking on a literal Muppet is the kind of thing a lazy writer would write to show how villainous a character is. What a disaster of a tweet, and I'm thrilled to see it.
The whole beef is hilarious ngl and i don't even know the context.
Hearing it in Nick Mullen’s voice doing an impression of Gordon
The two incel gurus reach such a higher plane of patheticness that they make the last one look out of place.
Insane that these grown-ass self-proclaimed “alpha males” are beefing with a puppet.
Don't misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!
And losing, clearly
Elmo is mogging them without even trying. Look at those like/rt ratios
On the other hand, this makes perfect sense if they're actually man-children.
He was a communist, Elmo. (positive)
these guys send unhinged tweets to Elmo in the same way that I do to sitting U.S. senators and they think THEY'RE the peak of masculinity
Why talk about yourself like that?
I mean it's completely true, and you should absolutely fuck right off.
GAAYNFD? What is NFD?
They are such parody’s of themselves I am 60/40 on whether these are real or not.
Fragile fucks have to talk shit to an actual puppet spreading positivity because their ideology is such dog shit it can't be hyped.
“Tell Elmo how you feel today sweetie.”
I HATE YOU ELMO!
“Now, please tell Elmo why you feel that way. Use your words please.”

This is what they say to Elmo in public, I can't even imagine the vile shit they send to Ms Rachel in private. What the fuck is wrong with these people.
The kind of people that answer when Dora the explorer ask them a question
based elmo
Whats the context? Its hilarious without it lol
Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.
This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children's puppet like this.
Elmo is unconcerned with the foes of Elmo
I didn't know the rivalry between elmo and Kermit ran so deep.
Elmo is clearly the leader we need.
