Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Weaponized Stupid; Weaponized Hate

 This piece from the Post and PEN is really striking. There have been over 1,000 challenges to books in school libraries for having LGBTQ themes or characters that were analyzed by the Post. 

The majority were filed by 11 people. The Moms for Liberty group was behind almost all of it.

What's become apparent is that Talibangelicals have created an echo chamber that makes them think that their positions are really popular. They think they have God on their side, so they and their co-conspirators do things like enact bans on books and abortions.

There is only one way to deal with these god-bothering fascists. They have to be defeated and repudiated in every aspect of American life.
