@SirNineteen@johnhaughey @GameWank @mail_american@funder Removing an adult book from a kids library is not a book ban. Outlawing a book is a book ban. Any of these books can be checked out at a town library or bought on Amazon or a Barnes & Noble in Florida.
I see the world pretty differently than Batya Ungar-Sargon does, but even I was surprised at how viciously and nastily the official White House RapidResponse47 account lashed out at her this week for what was very measured and fair criticisms of the Iran deal.
If that attack was meant to intimidate her, it clearly backfired, which is not exactly surprising. This White House's communications efforts rarely attempt to persuade, reason, or cajole, even to usual allies. It's almost always this in-your-face smash-mouth sneering and contempt, which I suspect alienates even the people most inclined to agree. I'm sure it makes the White House crew feel good, but it doesn't get them where they want to go.
@DC4Hope@JonseyWales76@Variety You've been brainwashed if you think a college LGBT with a furry boyfriend who wrote "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out" is right wing.
@ctrlsaltesc@SteveGuest Your moral high-ground is "male on male rape and predator apps aren't the same as child sex trafficking."
If that's the case our society is in the gutter.
