Wow, we got to book burning level already..... that escalated quicker than I expected. I figured I still had a year or two till we got to the book burning stage of fascism.

โ€œFreedom Festโ€? Sure, nothing says freedom like book burnings.

Fascism is as fascism does.

When a group fetishizes weaponry, demonizes science, and dehumanizes minorities of all types, what do you expect?

The former Republican Party (now Fascists) has normalized mob rule.

kind of a Nazi and KKK cross-breed they have going on in the MO GOP
Where they burn books, eventually people will get burned in the end.

I love that after staging a photo that looks like book burning, the response of these two STATE SENATORS was basically โ€œlol theyโ€™re just boxes.โ€ As if owning the bleeding heart book lovers was the point.

NOT the point you fascist jerks.

If you ask me, this whole scenario smacks of incitement. Theyโ€™re just following the example set by their Dear Leader.

After the books they "burn" the people.
Or as a minimum send them to re-education camps.
it would be awesome to find out they accidentally burned a bunch of bibles.
What do you want to bet thereโ€™s a certain book by Ray Bradbury in thereโ€ฆ
they burned books at something called "Freedom Fest"?
They either can't read or can't understand and they are insanely mad - fascist zombies do that sort of stuff
The GOP has rabies. Time to put it down.
Let's just call them the Nazis that they are

cause book burning has worked well the dozens of previous times that governments have used it as a tool, right?

THIS IS WHY we can't have nice things!

They called it a 'Freedom Fest'! Their blindness to irony is mind-boggling.
we're stuck with them for at least another two years...
They're burning boxes, not books. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZALESQqwgWw

I used to wonder what it would be like to live in the 30's in Germany.

For the last 6 years, I no longer wonder about how a society moves towards fascism. People voting in favour of losing their own rights and democracy.

Seeing politicians now using flamethrowers to support their 'pledge to burn books' makes Kristallnacht in Germany even more real.

One poster: A literal book burning. They think flamethrowers should be legal but history books should be destroyed.

@georgetakei

these murderous buffoons donโ€™t understand irony
