POWERFUL: former Navy Commander SLAMS DeSantis and right-wing cult banning books in his son's school. “I spent the last decade of my Naval career fighting religious fascism abroad. Never thought I’d have to fight it right here in the United States of America.”
The REAL reason Republican extremists want to ban books didn't occur to me until I watched this full video. Let me know if this rings true:
A normal brain EMBRACES new information; we take in diverse info from everywhere. We can discern what is true through critical thinking, and then filter out the trash. We encourage our children to do the same.
But a conservative brain HATES new information; they take in info from very few untrustworthy sources (aka Fox News), and only let those lies shape their world view. They can NOT discern what is true, because they are not critical thinkers. They can't filter out the trash.
So what is their fear based on –
Are they afraid their children can't think too?
Or are they afraid their children are SMARTER than them, and will learn the truth?
For anyone confused, Trending Liberal is now The Democratic Voice. Same people, different mission. You may have seen us on Facebook or Substack. Pedal to the metal for the midterms. Let's... fucking... GO.
@jaredpolis Leave the Democratic Party! The broad tent majority party of freedom (for everyone but felons), the rule of law (that you're excused from), limited government (including illegitimate clemencies), and protecting all of our constitutional rights (until we pardon insurrectionists)!
The man who leaked Trump's tax returns (who is already tried and convicted, btw) leaked many people's returns. Are we going to give $10 Billion to ALL of them? NO. This is a historic, INSANE grift. Sane people in our government need to do EVERYTHING in their power to stop it.
“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.” https://t.co/rRGLnEtiOx
