   You know how it's always said how if public libraries didn't exist, there is no way on Earth our current libertarian capitalist system would allow them to be created today?

   State of Missouri just voted to eliminate them completely.

   I'm sure other GOP-run states will soon follow. Fascists do love to purge books and readers of them are at an all-time low anyway. Hell, I used to read like 20 a week and I've bought like 2 in the past year.

   Shape of things to come.

     They would deny it, but the playbook is the same.

     They also can tell female legislators what they can and cannot wear.

     But hey, kids can now carry guns and babies to term here.

     My state is stupid red these days.
