OMG, it sucks that you were right.

spaced-out-et.bsky.social•84 days ago

Wow, I think you're in GA like me, and I'm sadly not surprised :( I see the Founding Myth mentioned there, I'm currently reading that one and I like it so far, very informative!

resistrebelrevolt.net•84 days ago

Oh good. That's the one that caught my eye too!

ljvalente.bsky.social•85 days ago

know we're bible belt but that still surprises me a bit...Indiana or Texas or Tennessee I can see...but down here sure there's the Klan but they are old school....hell they even voted for Tim Scott...

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

I'm in Georgia.

I think there were 3 pro-Christian Nationalism books in the top 20.

But there were another 10 books warning of the dangers of Christian Nationalism. So that's good!

I wonder how they placed them on the shelves. Right next to each other? ha.ha.

ljvalente.bsky.social•85 days ago

I thought you might be since I saw the Savannah pic...am across the bridge myself on the other side...deep deep red....if you search christian nationalism in the south that doesn't surprise me all that much..as for anyone reading those books does...what read a book...lol

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•85 days ago

Shite, shocked it is not required reading in kindergarten down there

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

They probably hand it out to kids in Sunday school. 🤢

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•85 days ago

One of the only two books allowed to be read

The author, Andrew Torba, is a prominent Christian Nationalist. Founder of Gab. He most recently made headlines by approving of Musk's Nazi salute in a tweet.

The online libraries from larger cities have several for ebook & audiobook! In Tx, Harris County PL and Houston PL. Check out the larger towns in your state. Ask for a free online access card - many times if you can present your state ID, you get free access to their massive and diverse collections!

Honestly probably good idea to read to understand the enemy is to learn to combat the enemy.

The religious cultists still haven't learned how to behave in a civilized society.

Torn between 🤬 and 🤮

plantsmantx.bsky.social•84 days ago

Andrew Torba is an out-and-out Nazi.

Better to identify the members of the board and contact them

“Smiting for Dummies”

violetcontessa25.bsky.social•85 days ago

Unfortunately as a librarian we aren’t supposed to censor what other people read. We have to provide for everyone in our community, even those people. Believe me having to provide things like this wasn’t the best part of the job.

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

Understandable!

klparmley.bsky.social•85 days ago

O. Mi. Fucking. Ghod.

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

Don't worry! My library does have at least 10 other books warning of the dangers of Christian Nationalism.

I just had to scroll a bit. 😉

The instruction manual was #2. But #13-#20 were all anti-Christian Nationalism.

(So I don't have to move yet. 🤣)

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•85 days ago

Plan your escape route now, just in case

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

It's pretty simple. Drive north!

Perhaps all the way up to Canada, if I can make it.

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•85 days ago

Drive a Big van and pick up a many as you can along the way lol.

I am near the border and will let you know where the checkpoints are hahaha

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

lol

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•85 days ago

Seems you are not the only one thinking of this today lol

John just posted this

hilogram15.bsky.social•85 days ago

Have you read Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez?

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

Nope! What does it say?

hilogram15.bsky.social•85 days ago

Gonna try this again, but more coherently 😅

It’s about American evangelicalism & its views on masculinity and covers how it led to where we’re at in the U.S. right now

My parents grew up in Florida and were staunch supporters of LBJ, so careful about the blanket discrimination.

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

I don't consider FL the South. My family is from FL. They've never referred to themselves as Southerners. More Carribean-ish.

FL was owned by Spain for the first 100 years of the 13 colonies.

This had lasting cultural effects that made the region develop differently than the British territories.

tctulpa.bsky.social•85 days ago

I was raised in Florida along the Gulf Coast. Can't say the Conquistadors had a lasitng effect as they did in Latin America, luckily. Second generation Floridians seemed a minority in Pensacola and Panama City, but those from the North often praised Southern hospitaity.

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

My family live in Ft. Lauderdale.

tctulpa.bsky.social•85 days ago

Ft. Pickens in Pensacola where my brother and I used to run wild, involved in the Civil War:

Jesus and John Wayne is a good one.

Oh dear.

evans-cindy.bsky.social•84 days ago

Ugh! I'm right there with you. MTG my rep. Every time I call her office to complain about Musk I feel like I should take a bath.

resistrebelrevolt.net•84 days ago

I have Buddy Carter. 🤮

Well you might get rid of MTG as a rep if she can become our entire state's governor.

Looks like she's setting her eyes on statewide election interference now.

evans-cindy.bsky.social•84 days ago

I went to college with Buddy Carter 🙄. Didn't know him but we share space in a yearbook.

As for crazy Marge, well I'm just speechless.

resistrebelrevolt.net•84 days ago

He's very anti-abortion. I got on his email list for a while. It wasn't fun. I organized 3 abortion rights marches in his district.

niferiffic.bsky.social•85 days ago

Good lord

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

And it was even #2 in the search! I hope they're not ranked by popularity, otherwise we're in trouble.

mommadart.bsky.social•85 days ago

Would it be possible for you to take them home and KEEP them out of the library? Just keep renewing. Nobody should have access to the second one!

resistrebelrevolt.net•85 days ago

lmao. Excellent idea. I would take one for the team!

mommadart.bsky.social•85 days ago

I might check my library out too!

akglittergoblin.bsky.social•84 days ago

resistrebelrevolt.net•84 days ago

Sometimes I scream externally too.
