The complaints by Ted Cruz and other Maga Republicans that Barbie is propaganda and that people should boycott it probably will help ticket sales for Director Greta Gerwig. Great Gerwig owes them a big thanks. I for one was never keen about seeing that movie, but now I want to. Presumably many others feel the same.

The miserable one. Poor thing.

Why do people make a partisan issue of everything? Do they want to be outraged and incensed about everything so they can be unhappy? That goes for those on the right and left, too. I feel sorry for the children of these people. “Oh Dad, I gotta see the Barbie Movie!. All of my friends have.” What do the parents respond? “NO. It is propaganda.” I bet you a good number of those parents will cave.
