To the surprise of absolutely no one
If I were a Dem candidate going against a MAGA that voted down Dolly's books, I'd mention it in every ad.
Wtf? So the flag lowering is entirely performative? Figures.

Thoughts and prayers.
Why do the Republicans hate their own people so much?
In this case, if they learn reading comprehension and critical thinking at an early age then they won't be Republicans when they're old enough to vote
Yeah, I was republican until I was, um, 19? And that's because I grew up in a cult where the word liberal is a sin but my parents and grandparents themselves are cool. Like literally I went to a city council meeting in a town the cult controlled and the town engineer gave estimates. He explained that they were for the most traffic the proposed intersection would get, but they were going to call them finger quotes conservative estimates so they would think they were good estimates. And did that kind of sophistic bullshit all night.
You'd think that would have gotten me out of the cult, but see there was this woman.
That’s precisely it. The Gross Old Pedophiles jealously guard their imbecile supporters and cultivate their ignorance like a cash crop.
Educated people statistically vote more in line with the left, not the right. They love the poorly educated
People remind them that they are human. They don't want to be human (humane).
How long have they been waiting to pull that damn trigger?
I mean. They have no spines, otherwise they would’ve done it well before.
They are a virus.
Only way that Rs think of the children is when they're trafficked in for playthings...
Well... That was quick.
This happened like last year. It's just being brought up again because of Dolly's passing.
Yup it's already been cancelled in my state, got a letter a few months ago. Fuck all republicans, they are complete shit
Jeez... It is amazing how I can learn about a new low these people can reach.
It's books for children.
