Bless it's heart it's doing its best.

It's a mascot for brand recognition purposes, just like Tux the penguin. I don't quite understand what the problem is. I feel like if I were to call anything about it weird, it would be the use of a derpy, chonky dinosaur rather than the gender of said derpasaurus.

I see what you're doing here, but I'm afraid you were doomed the moment you linked a 23 minute video. People don't have that kind of attention spans for their own family, let alone a stranger trying to make a point on the internet.

This is correct. Fro what i remember In Surrounded by Idiots he starts with a story about a business owner he knew that used the title phrase to describe his own employees and then uses that to lead into the book which is about connecting with other people, perspective, and empathy.

The book is titled like that because it would resonate with the people that actually believe that and are the ones that really need to read the book.

This has to be bait. Nobody who actually knows anything about JRs presidency would present him like this unless they were apologists or trolls.

It was not a return to the series roots in any way, and if that is their magnum opus, then the studio is doomed.

I legitimately want to hear your reasoning for that statement.

Tolerance is just an extension of the social contract. Intolerant people are actively violating the social contract and, as such, are not eligible for the benefits such a contract provides. This has been settled law for millennia. Live and let live... or else.
