Return to Form

In states currently ran by conservatives, we're starting to see something that always happens when they're in charge. They're looking at lists of books that they want to be removed. They want the range of information limited. 

This is, of course, from the party who whines about cancel culture. 

I've always found this complaint quite amusing when it comes from the Right. When I was growing up, conservatives were always the ones who wanted to ban books and music and anyone who stepped out of line. There were preachers who specialized in convincing kids to burn their albums or their comic books. They were always the ones who hated new ideas, or complicated ideas, or any ideas that didn't support their very narrow worldview. 

It's going to be interesting to see how they try and balance their fake outrage about cancel culture with their very strong need to cancel everything they don't approve of. Who am I kidding? They won't try to balance or justify it at all. They'll just push and push and see what they can make happen.
