  So tell me again how they can claim with a straight face that they're not Nazis?

  "Reasonable people everywhere recognize these books as obscene . . . “
  
  Religious fundamentalists are not “reasonable people.” >
  
  Religious fundamentalism is a form of child abuse >
  
  Just in case anyone forgets, here's a list of over 600 verified Republican sex offending politicians.
  Just a reminder:

  thanks for the list. it's now a bookmark. i'll be sharing this every chance i get >
  
  
  Republican Rep.-elect Jeanette Ward has introduced House Bill 87, which expands the definition of “child pornography” to mean “any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, cartoon, drawing, computer or computer generated image or picture, whether or not made or produced by electronic, mechanical or other means, or any other form of depiction of explicit sexual conduct.” 
  Based on this definition, many books that provide sexual health information to youth would be banned, along with several books that help LGBTQ+ youth learn about their identities.  
  Ward also helped members of the anti-LGBTQ+ group Moms for Liberty get elected to the Natrona County school board. Moms for Liberty members have been running for school board positions across the country as part of the right-wing effort to shift schools toward a more conservative ideology.
  
  ​
  This sort of rigamarole is sexual repression in action.
  ​
  If you only think of LGBTQIA+ people as inherently sexual, you have an all-around weird fascination with sex. Their position is laughably stupid when considering the A is for asexual people like me.
  ​
  Sexual repression and prudery is still an obsession with sex. Purity culture is still an obsession with sex. It's just obsessed with declaring everyone and everything wicked because they refuse to understand or learn anything past what the Bible says.
  ​
  Republicans claim we are all sex-obsessed crazies, but I've found no one thinks more about sex than Republicans do. >
  
  Anytime white people claim Liberty, get ready for the fuckery >
  
  Now we both know they don't wanna talk about that >
  
  I know 😏 >
  
  Funny that but they don’t want to extend it to the age of Matt Gaetz or Andrew Tait victims. >
  
  Or with subjecting their kids to child breeding advocate Matt Walsh videos. >
  
  They're the same party that deemed "the left going too far" as the left teaching what is and isn't consent. >
  
  Meanwhile, you have Matt "I violate my children's consent all the time" Walsh. >
  
  Oh, Matt "It's not that underage pregnancy is a problem, it's that they aren't married" Walsh? >
  
  I just had to swallow back down a bit of puke. He’s disgusting. >
  
  It felt awful to type Matt Walsh's beliefs >
  
  So nothing to do with actual child pornography... >
  
  Nope none >
  
  Children's books with mommy and daddy = wholesome
  Children's books with mommy and mommy = child porn >
  
  Biology books with depiction of nudity = abnormal.
  Biology books with fairy tales and creationist lies = godly science… >
  
  I really wish we weren't so stupidly puritanical about the naked body in this country. It causes so many unnecessary problems. >
  
  I was at a spa in berlin today. I saw at least 20 dongs and 20 pairs of boobs. I go there twice a week and I barely realize that I’m surrounded by nudity anymore. It’s just normal people being normal people. 
  Making nudity taboo seems quite abnormal to me. >
  
  Yup - same happened to me. You just get over it. >
  
  Clearly republicans never learned the concept of "ban thingy make people want thingy more"
  Just a stupid act of bigotry all around >
  
  Yup. Republicans are the town from Footloose. >
  
  The town in Footloose is based on Elmore City, here in Oklahoma. It's just west of Wynnewood on Highway 29.
  Voted for Trump by a 74-point margin in 2020, naturally. >
  
  Yup. I know. They still have a sign bragging about it, as if it's something to brag about. >
  
  Wow, look behaving exactly like nazis. I’d say don’t they know nazis went after queer people and sent them to the camps during the holocaust but then I remembered Americans schools purposely erase queer history down to rewriting the holocaust and how it unfolded. 
  An ignorant country breeds hateful people >
  
  It’s almost like the Nazis ideas of eugenics were wildly popular here in the US to the point that Ivy League papers were written on its benefits including the possible benefits of gas chambers. >
  
  Books a child reads should be regulated by his or her parents/caregivers, not big government.  You'd think that be a conservative principle. >
  
  Conservatives are all about fascism here. They just want to dominate others into their Christian nationalist hate group. That's why almost all their bills are written by groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom & Focus on the Family. They want to subjugate everyone to their Christian nationalism and eliminate all that oppose their demands. It's horrible. >
  
  Can we redefine money laundering to include his mortgage payments? >

  Protect the kids from books but not bullets. Got it. >

  Why is this a priority and not finding who were Epstein's clients? >
  
  Guaranteed, every one of them has a trove of CP on their devices. It's ALWAYs projection. >
  
  With all of the projection, I don't want to know what's in her search history. >
  
  Fucking scum
  Make no mistake, this is book burning, just with less smoke >
  
  Do Republicans even govern anymore? >
  
  They screamed about petrol prices and inflation for a year, then the first week in they immediately jump to trash virtue signaling for their culture war bullshit and their rubes will cheer them on. The right wing voters are incredibly easy to manipulate >
  
  She probably has a full library in her personal office. >
  
  Republicans also want to expand the ways of being completely backwards and totally insufferable >
  
  Isn't the current definition giving then enough trouble already? >
  
  Wouldn’t the Bible be right at the top of that list? >
  
  GOP obsessed with shit that has nothing to do with running a country >
  
  So does this mean they will be banning the bible as well? >
  
  How about the bible then? >
  
  47 years in and the Bible is still the most obscene book I've ever read.
