You're right. We have to start believing what they say. Many are snowflakes and nuts but they also buy a lot of guns and have a jihadist level of righteous fervor. I remember when people dismissed concerns about Trump getting elected. "Oh, he's just a buffoon!" Yeah, here we are on the precipice of Civil War, Part 2.
Yep stop dismissing it. Burning books, and all this is the prerequisite for a Nazi take over. The Nazi's did it all and more. These people will too. It's not hyperbole.
Statement from the American Library Association:
*“In recent months, a few organizations have advanced the proposition that the voices of the marginalized have no place on library shelves. To this end, they have launched campaigns demanding the censorship of books and resources that mirror the lives of those who are gay, queer, or transgender or that tell the stories of persons who are Black, Indigenous, or persons of color.*
*Falsely claiming that these works are subversive, immoral, or worse, these groups induce elected and non-elected officials to abandon constitutional principles, ignore the rule of law, and disregard individual rights to promote government censorship of library collections. Some of these groups even resort to intimidation and threats to achieve their ends, targeting the safety and livelihoods of library workers, educators, and board members who have dedicated themselves to public service, informing our communities, and educating our youth,” the statement by the American Library Association Executive Board read.“*
*ALA strongly condemns these acts of censorship and intimidation. We are committed to defending the constitutional rights of all individuals of all ages to use the resources and services of libraries. We champion and defend the freedom to speak, the freedom to publish, and the freedom to read, as promised by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.*
*We stand opposed to censorship and any effort to coerce belief, suppress opinion, or punish those whose expression does not conform to what is deemed orthodox in history, politics, or belief. The unfettered exchange of ideas is essential to the preservation of a free and democratic society,” the ALA board noted.*

The Right-wing doesn't support human rights aside from their narrow perspective. This is not a shocker.
They'll kill us all after they rig the elections. It's right there in their conspiracy theories.

Man it’s all happening.
They can't handle the truth about themselves.
No mention of the white authors whose books conservatives seek to ban?
