Most of the responses to Elmo’s post were nice! His old friend Rosita responded adorably, saying, “I agree, Elmito!”
“Millions agree with you, Elmo,” someone tweeted, alongside a photo of the billboard that said, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” from the halftime show.
“Protect Elmo and Good Bunny at all costs.”
“The Halftime Show was so wholesome! I knew you’d like it Elmo. It was as family-friendly as it gets.”
“Elmo up past his bedtime like.”
“Elmo renaming him Good Bunny is the purest thing on the internet today.”
Buuuuut, unfortunately, since the internet is the internet, not every response was positive.
Since Elmo did what he does best (be sweet), conservatives obviously did what THEY do best in response (freak out for no reason). “How can you read stuff like this and not realize how desperate the Dems are,” one tweet read.
A lot of people are pointing out how utterly STRANGE this one-sided beef with a puppet is. “Republicans are so racist they’re in the comments arguing with a 3 and 1/2 year old puppet from a children’s television show,” one person wrote.
“all the grown adults in the replies mad at a puppet is frying me.”
“How can you read comments like this and not realize how batshit crazy the GOP is to be this mad over a damn puppet account…”
“You guys created a whole separate halftime show because you wanted attention…”
For now, though, Elmo, sweetie…GET BEHIND ME! And to the rest of my fellow Elmo truthers, RISE UP!!!!!!!!!! (Also, let us know your thoughts in the comments.)
