Ricky Schroder, the Golden Globe Award winner best known for his roles in “Lonesome Dove” and the role for which he won a Golden Globe Award as a child actor, 1979’s “The Champ,” recently announced his new initiative to counteract woke Hollywood and fix the lack of conservative representation in media and pop culture.
Now an actor, writer, and director, Schroder is doing so with the Reel American Heroes Foundation. He aims to use it to show Americans what sort of people and values built this great country into what it was at its height, thereby counteracting the negative messages that woke Hollywood shows and movies are constantly spreading.
Speaking about the RAHF and what he aims to accomplish through it, Schroder said, “We’re a nonprofit whose mission is to tell stories, stories that entertain us, inspire us and educate us about why America is a uniquely great nation. So why is she great? Well, it’s because of the people, real American heroes, past, present and future who embody the values and the principles which build this great nation.”
Continuing, he explained his vision for the initiative and what sort of channel he is modeling it off of to succeed, saying, “Here’s the plan. We’re going to build a sort of ‘Patriot PBS,’ an army of storytellers to counteract much of the negative program coming from Hollywood these days. Our money, our stories, our legacies.”
He also explained both why he thinks storytelling is so important and what he thinks America needs to move forward in a constructive way. He said, “Folks, never has the need been greater for a constructive vision for our collective futures. Storytelling is at the root of our shared history. I know together we can build a foundation that will inspire the world through storytelling.”
Schroder, somewhat surprisingly, isn’t the only Hollywood star to realize the dangerous state America is in and try to push back against what is going on in the hope of preserving America as it used to be, using a platform granted by entertainment success to fight back.
Comedian and actor Rob Schneider, for example, tore into the threats posed to American liberty and the insouciance of many Americans when it comes to those threats to their God-given freedoms and liberties, freedoms and liberties that they used to understand the importance of.
Speaking about those values and the need for vigilance, Schneider said, “There is a threat to liberty. The Founding Fathers, who founded this nation under God, were very astute in saying that this freedom requires eternal vigilance. I don’t think our country has been extremely vigilant, either.”
Continuing, he explained the problem with that attitude, saying, “We’ve been very lax. I think it’s going to take some leaders with some backbone, not just worried about getting reelected, to stand up to this tyranny and to stand up against what I can’t describe in any other way but evil.”
