Wow, look at these jack-booted thugs, Finn. I can see why you'd be all scared and hunkered down in your basement at the sight of them.

I'm hardly scared of them. OTOH, I'm not fond of ignorant MAGAMorons and fascists making decisions about which books kids should read. For example, the MAGA clown who is Oklahoma's State School Superintendent Ryan Walters says that any instruction on the infamous Tulsa race massacre should not portray the massacre as having its roots in racism. We also have Florida teachers being investigated or fired for showing Disney movies or a Georgia teachers being fired for reading a children's book written from the perspective of a child who likes both traditionally “boy” things like trains and “girl” things like glitter.

As for the Moms for Liberty and their Hitler quote (a group the SPLC compares to pro-segregationist groups that arose after Brown v Board of Education), a speaker (GOP Lt. Gov. of NC) at their annual convention defended the Hitler citation and then praised the policies of Stalin and Mao as well.

I find it amusing how you MAGAMorons find the Twitter Files to represent attacks against the First Amendment despite not showing a single instance of government coercion, yet are OK with morons and fascists using the power of state government to ban books and fire teachers, the House of Representative punishing a member for criticizing your Dear Leader and Truth Social immediately deleting any posts critical of your Dear Leader.

It can only be explained as I did above, namely that your position has nothing to do with free speech. It's about ensuring that nothing interferes with the lies and misinformation critical to MAGA conservatism while drowning out the voices who challenge this fascist viewpoint and the racist, homophobic sentiment underpinning it.
