@Ricardus Yeah. It’s unfortunate though.

@wasootch I've been expecting the worst from these people since the Tea Party. Now they're just fascists.

@Ricardus @wasootch Never thought they'd take it as an instruction video. Mike Judge has a crystal ball I think.

@mmiasma @wasootch Even after they started using 1984 as an instruction manual you're shocked about this?

@Ricardus @mmiasma I guess I always thought the US had enough to protect against full fascism. But it seems that is naive.

@Ricardus @wasootch Clearly I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been...

@wasootchSo let me get this straight; fascism is a local community wanting to decide what goes in their local library? Fascism is a local judge beloved by his community trying to oppose a federal judge disconnected from the wants and beliefs of that community?Contrary to what that article presents, Llano county is a conservative county and they have been for a long time. Why should a local community not get to decide what they want in their library? @Ricardus @mmiasma

@AdvJosh @wasootch @mmiasma What else does the local community get to decide in your world?

@RicardusWell, if you buy into the idea of federalism, which is a key player in how the U.S. is structured, the local community should get control of issues of local concern. What books go in a local library seems like a local concern to me.I would expect a local community to control most every local concern. Things like their library, public services, school board, etc.@wasootch @mmiasma
