An Open Letter

From: A constituent in Midland, MI

The White House just authorized another blatantly racist platform, but this time they’re targeting kids. Congress MUST act. The games the WH has created on Arcade.gov are sick and wrong. “Rio Run,” in my opinion, is the worst of them. There’s a version of Tom Homan that the player controls as he chases and captures migrants with darker skin tones along the Rio Grande, which obviously represents the southern border. This game rewards hunting down fellow human beings! This only reinforces the racism present in the current regime, but now aims it at our kids. This is despicable! Another game called “Supply Line” spreads RFK Jr’s inaccurate health information, making players click on his idea of healthy food, such as using beef tallow instead of seed oils. It also tells players that they shouldn’t read food labels. This misinformation should not be spread by the federal government. What’s worse is that it’s geared for children with growing bodies and specific dietary needs. This style of brainwashing can be compared to the youth programs around WWII, such as the Hitler Youth programs, where it made kids feel as if they belonged, but trained them to be loyal to the regime. Mussolini had a similar program in the Opera Nazionale Balilla. We’ve just taken the idea digital with Arcade.gov. These are not messages I want spread by the US government, and neither should you. We all know that children are easily swayed by repeated messages, and nothing repeats as well as a video game. Video games continue to be popular among all ages of children, and I’m sure that advertising will appear to increase visits to this deplorable site. Racism and deliberate misinformation must not be shared with our youth. The president and White House do not have morals, nor do they share any values that our kids should learn. Congress needs to act and shut down this website. The White House is targeting America’s kids, and it must stop.
