    It's amazing how upset these guys are about library reading hours with drag queens. I mean, they're trying to figure out how to use the force of the state to stop this.https://twitter.com/timotheeology/status/1142510285816619009 …

    Replying to @SohrabAhmari
    Agreed. Drag queens (DQs) *can and should* be banned from reading hour. Police power of the 10th allows state govs to. I’m a republics=Catholic guy, not a classical liberal. Classical libs think gov can’t and shouldn’t ban DQs; postlibs think they can’t but should. Both wrong

        Have they checked with HQ to see whether they're supposed to believe in public libraries in the first place

        "on one hand 'liberales classiques' believe that the feds can use plenary police powers to eradicate all John Waters' films, while on the other hand, the far more libertarian-minded 'Jeffersonian post-Masonites' believe only *state* police should eradicate all John Waters' films"

        I would leave my baby brother in a room full of the raunchiest drag queens and never bat an eye about his safety, if he went to a church I'd never let him be alone anywhere.

        Yeah, but do they really want to stop reading with drag queens or just reading?

        This obnoxious line from the right about how "dangerous" these story hours are has been repeated ad nauseam just like all their other talking points (benghazi,emails, fbi agent texts, etc). Trans people are already facing Nuremberg laws. We are all next.
