“Dad, are we going to get shot if we go to the march?” Morgan Freeman says his young daughter asked him about the “No Kings” protest this weekend.
“No, honey — this is America,” the Oscar-winning actor comforted her. “I can’t remember the last time a truly peaceful protest was met with anything but respect from the authorities. Certainly not since the Civil Rights era.”
I’m kidding, of course.
Instead, Morgan used the moment — and I’ll stipulate that it actually happened, even though I don’t believe that it did — for a little social media scaremongering. Hatemongering, too, courtesy of this find by Mary Kathrine Ham:
It’s not a mark of virtue to scare your kids as much as possible. It is the opposite. In cases where there’s risk, model strength & rational risk analysis. Where there is major risk, it’s your job to stand in the breach for them, not hang them out over the edge to prove a pt. https://t.co/K4XhUVKbvz

He hates you, he really hates you.
And what about that poor little girl?
It’s impossible to say for sure whether Freeman is simply abusing her image to score social-media cred with his zhey-zhem pals on X and BlueSky, or whether he actually emotionally abuses his daughter. 10-year-old don’t say things like “Dad, are we going to get shot if we go to the march?” unless they’ve been programmed well in the ways of progressive virtue-signaling.
Or maybe — as I hope and believe — he just made the whole thing up.
And Another Thing: It’s impossible to count the number of times I’ve reminded my sons — from the time they were little — never to conflate the performer with the performance. The Morgan Freeman who helped the world face an Extinction Level Event with grace and dignity in Deep Impact is not the same guy who warps his kid into thinking she might be murdered by the cops.
But then I look at other lefty actors like Charlize Theron, whose two adopted children both identify as trans. Other actors like Jamie Lee Curtis (one confirmed trans child, Ruby), Robert De Niro (one, Airyn), Naomi Watts (one, Kai), and Cynthia Nixon (one, Seph) have one each.
Actual gender dysphoria is an extremely rare condition. I had Grok run the numbers for me, double-checked by GPT, and here’s what I found:
Approximately 0.005% to 0.014% for natal males and 0.002% to 0.003% for natal females, based on older studies (e.g., Zucker & Lawrence, 2009, citing clinic referrals). More recent data from the DSM-5 field trials and population studies (e.g., Collin et al., 2016) suggest a slightly higher range of 0.1% to 0.6% for adults experiencing clinically significant dysphoria.
But you can hardly swing a stick at an awards show without hitting multiple celebs with a kid claiming to have a condition that hits maybe — maybe — one in 200 Americans.
Clearly, there’s a lot of grooming of one type or another going on in the entertainment industry, so maybe I’m wrong to cut Freeman any slack at all. Maybe his little girl really is so emotionally manipulated that she believes Trump wants to have her shot for going to a peaceful protest.
So kudos to the “No Kings” protestors for engaging in a “mostly peaceful” protest that, for once, was almost entirely peaceful. But the rest of their agenda stinks, and their grooming methods are rancid beyond disgust.
If you don’t scare your kids as much as possible, they’ll never grow up to be needy neurotic progressives.
