A New Front in the Culture Wars
Move over, holiday greetings and standardized tests—there’s a new crisis on the horizon, and it’s as shiny as it is circular: DVDs. Yes, you read that right. In a world that’s racing toward digital everything, Ryan Walters has discovered yet another issue to champion, placing the blame squarely on liberal agendas that want to bury our beloved disc-based entertainment. Because apparently, phasing out DVDs is just another step in the grand plan to dismantle traditional American values.
The Alleged Plot to Destroy Physical Media
Online streaming is convenient, sure. But Walters and his supporters are sounding the alarm: is this shift to digital a harmless technological evolution, or an orchestrated ploy by “the left” to deny future generations the joy of rummaging through dusty DVD racks? According to this theory, liberals want us dependent on streaming platforms—so they can “edit out conservative undertones” in our favorite 1990s sitcoms at will.
“They start by removing DVDs from the shelves,” Walters might warn in a hypothetical stump speech. “Next, they’ll be erasing the second half of Terminator 2 because it’s too ‘traditional family values’ for them!”
“No DVD Left Behind” – A Rallying Cry
Walters, rumored to be in the midst of planning a massive statewide “Save Our DVDs” rally, has promised to draft a legislative proposal to protect physical media in Oklahoma. Among the rumored provisions:
- DVD Preservation Tax Incentives
Retailers who stock DVDs from certain “classic” eras—especially anything from the mid-90s to early 2000s—could qualify for a tax credit. Good news for anyone whose local video store is still clinging to life! - Required Classroom DVD Players
Proposed guidelines might require every public-school classroom to have a DVD player—preferably one that’s region-locked, just to keep out any “foreign influences.” Because who needs Netflix to watch those documentary clips when we can have the joy of fumbling with scratched discs? - Mandatory Disc Education
A “DVD Studies” unit could be introduced in Oklahoma’s revised curriculum, ensuring students learn the entire history of disc-based media, from LaserDiscs to Blu-ray. Who needs world history when you can focus on the saga of evolving home entertainment?
A Righteous Battle Against the ‘Digital Elite’
Walters’s supporters have taken to social media, tweeting with fervor about how streaming services are the left’s secret tool for controlling our minds.
- #SaveOurDiscs
- #DVDLivesMatter
- #StopTheStreamScheme
One particularly passionate tweet proclaimed, “Digital copies can be DELETED, but a scratched DVD is forever!” A poetic sentiment indeed.
What the Critics Say
In typical fashion, critics argue that Walters is manufacturing a crisis. They point out that DVDs are simply aging technology, gradually replaced by streaming for reasons of convenience and cost, not a liberal plot to brainwash the masses. But these naysayers fail to see the bigger picture: how can we trust intangible data? DVDs are tangible, physical, real—just like the Great American Values they supposedly represent.
Is This Just Another Distraction?
Of course, pundits at MSNBC and CNN are already labeling the “War on DVDs” as yet another culture-war distraction from more pressing state issues, like teacher shortages and educational performance. Walters’s detractors claim he’s more interested in shaping headlines than shaping policy. But supporters insist that if they don’t fight back now, soon the only place to find a DVD will be in a museum display about “20th-century relics.”
Conclusion: The DVD or the Digital Divide
In Ryan Walters’s unfolding saga, the fight to protect physical media has become a stand-in for protecting the very soul of America. Will Oklahomans rally behind their DVD players, or will they succumb to the streaming overlords? One thing’s certain: if there’s a culture war to be waged, Walters is ready to press “Play.”
