Related: About this forumTed Cruz Leads Republicans In Massive Meltdown Over Xbox Update
Microsoft has announced an update for the Xbox that will provide new power-saving features, which the company says is a way to cut energy use to help combat climate change. And right on cue, Republicans went into full meltdown mode over "woke" Xbox consoles. Leading the charge was Republican Senator Ted Cruz who falsely claimed that liberals are coming for your Xbox, followed by a flurry of other politicians and conservative pundits parroting that stupid refrain. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Of course none of this really "bothers" them; it's just a convenient talking point.

What idiots.
no clue what they pay for their electric bill or natural gas bills. They hire people to take care of paying their bills.

Right wingers are such colossal dullards, they'll start to screech about this even if they don't know what an XBox is, but if they remember any high school science, will suspect that "X" has something nefarious to do with that female chromosome and will turn their all American, football loving sons gay or trans. I can hear the wingnut preachers right now.
