        This is exactly it. Conservatives don’t want free speech for others: they want free speech for themselves, which in their minds also means that no matter what they say nobody can react negatively to it in any way. They specifically don’t want anybody else to have any freedoms; the core of conservatism is social dominance over the Other

      At least the version we know.

      If someone actually reads and studies the bible they can come to the realization that god loves all equally, and all the hate is just from what parents and your congregation has taught you.

      They might have a different bible (trump bible) or it may be already in the works that they plan on replacing it with.

      Heck, they might have plans from banning any holy book that isn’t their approved bible from everywhere, even people’s homes if trump is ellected, sort of like how they did in the movie “v for vendetta”.

    Unless you are white, male, CIS-het, and an evangelical Xian, they are coming for you to. You’re just a bit further down the list.

    Damnit Idaho, again with the bad behavior :/ One of my niblings is trans, they’ve got to grow up in that state, it’s not going to be easy. I grew up in that state before I knew I was trans but everyone including me sensed something off and even that wasn’t easy. I wish there was more I could do from where I am now but best I know is to make sure they know I support them and have their back in what ways I can

    Freedom of speech baby. Some have it, some don’t.
    Americans are in the don’t category.

    Don’t fuck with librarians… They have access to the chemistry books and are friends with the people who know how to use the magics contained within…

    Seriously though, if you are on the opposite side from librarians, you’re doing it wrong.

    I’m my state the librarian can charge you with theft if you don’t return a book after they send you a notice to return it.
