    The US is bifurcating. Has it ever been this divided since the Civil War? Maybe during the Jim Crow Era and the Civil Rights movement?

    The technical term is a book ban ban.

    It’s crazy that such measures are necessary at all. Why are today’s fascists still such fans of book bans? Because Hitler thought it was great?

      Yes. That’s probably one of the reasons.

      Book bans are about control.

      That’s why it appeals to fascists.
